Drinking alcohol (vodka?) for medical purposes?

I do not drink and know nothing about liquor or alcohol, but I was considering disaster preparedness.

Would it be wise to put a bottle of alcohol in the disaster kit? If so, what kind would be best?
Don’t liquors last forever if unopened?
Can you mix alcohol with water to make the water drinkable?
I was thinking as they do movies….someone is hurt and they use scotch to disinfect a wound or something like that….

If I mixed cranberry juice and vodka and never refrigerated it, is it safe to drink?

I know cranberry juice must be refrigerated after opening like apple juice. I forgot to put the mix of both back in the fridge after last weekend and am wondering if it is safe to drink now, if maybe the vodka has a preserving effect? or will I get food poisoning? AHHH!
