When I say "in most circumstances" I mean "all those circumstances where people are talking about drinking alcoholic beverages (excluding birje and probably a few others =p)"

I see.  The youth of the language makes it more un-stable.  That makes sense.  I was mostly talking about rapid-fire conversation (i.e. informal and not necessarily having many listeners).

Another example of this kind of snowballing thing.  {xalka}.  I've seen it used a few times and so have used it myself in places like {.ui mi pinxe lo mutce xalka .uisai}, completely unaware of the existence of {jikru} which seems far more appropriate in most circumstances.

I think the purpose of xalka is for medical alcohol, or just alcohol in general, as opposed to just drinking alcohol. jikru obviously can't be used for for rubbing alcohol.
