I meant more that it’s not hard to avoid getting into any trouble by just never taking these things across borders, rather than trying to learn the rules. Nobody needs to move alcohol or tobacco - it’s always going to be available at your destination unless it’s banned in which case you still couldn’t import.

YMMV, like I said. When I go on road trips I don't really think about what I'm taking; you "pack" for a flight or train journey from your home.
It just happens to be the case that I don't drink or smoke. There are other restrictions like meat, plants, blah blah, the list goes on.

This isn’t necessarily true. Many great whiskeys and spirits aren’t necessarily available to purchase in other countries. Another commenter mentioned the case of Japan. Many great whiskeys and sake produced in Japan aren’t available to buy in other countries.
Apart from that there is a matter of taxes.
