I don't know if it was true in this case or not, but one of my friend's cousins lived in New Orleans during the whole Katrina disaster. From what he said, often times stores were picked clean by the time that his friends got there to find food/water, and often times they would take alchohol to trade to others who had food and water.
Again, I'm not trying to imply that's what happened in this case, but it's possible.

Actually, giving it more thought - let's say that your house and everything you owned was destroyed. There isn't anything but miles of sewage water all around, and it's been a week since the disaster and you still haven't gotten any federal help. To be honest, I don't think getting absolutely smashed would seem like that bad of an option at that point....
