I found booze drops too much hassle. I do an airlock room type. So let's say we have the room the dwarf stays in, say room 1. Well to get to the fort proper the dwarf needs to leave room one through another room (the airlock) which is sealed with a bridge or a door (depends on circumstances)
I lock the dwarf in room 1, fill the airlock with supplies, then reseal the airlock and allow the dwarf access to the airlock to collect said supplies. The airlock varies, from being a 3x3 up to 20x20.
Should be noted I don't normally drop off supplies, instead I pick up supplies. Such as rock crafts and such.
If you wanted to drop off booze though a simple way to do it:
1) Make the airlock a stockpile.
2) assign this stockpile to take from links
3) make the linking stockpile your main booze stock
4) make a stockpile in room 1
5) make this stockpile take from the airlock stockpile
Anytime your dwarf in room 1 needs supplies just lock the airlock from his room, fill the stockpile with needed supplies using above method, unlock the airlock (be sure to lock it from the fort proper first)
Voila. The micromanagement is pretty much none, since I often give the dwarf a year of supplies minimum. Normally because I only check every fall or some such. Unless I have a cool werebeast, then they become the center attraction I'm a glass room in middle of my dining hall. Results in !!FUN!! When you forget to lock the airlock.
