For a second I thought they were trying to know if the bug was under age or not.

Don't want to be in trouble if I give it some beer!

I do use alcohol to help kill roaches. Different kind, of course. I know it's mean, but I can often squirt them with it easier than I can get to them. Once they are wet with alcohol they're disoriented (I'm sure writhing in pain, unfortunately), and I can put them out of their misery. The alcohol is also nice because disinfects.

I like to have drinks with the bugs before I get rid of them.
