Yes, you can bring the Vodka in your checked luggage but you need to let the airlines know it is in there. If you don't, when they X-ray it, they could pull it out as a potential security risk (as it is a liquid). All liquids need to be examined in the checked baggage to ensure they have not been tampered with. You must identify the Vodka or risk having it thrown away.
As for the soda, leave it at home.

The sodas are DOOOOOMED if they ride in the belly of the plane. Had a friend who suddenly needed to check a garment bag, and she'd slipped her bottle of Diet Coke in there as well. Super-sticky mess when she got the bag off the carousel. Not fun!
The vodka should be fine, though - it was the carbonation in the soda that really reacted badly with the decreased pressure. But definitely pack them in plenty of padding, or in a hard-sided suitcase, so they don't get crunched by other luggage!

Yes, you can. Just make sure you don't take more than you're allowed: Most countries have a limit to how much alcohol you may bring in.

If a soda can is malformed the decrease in pressure can make it pop. Bottles of alcohol should be just fine if they're insulated from impacts. Keep in mind that your luggage can be searched. Don't bring anything you shouldn't.

Yes you can take alcohol provided it's in a bag that is checked-in (not carry-on). No, they will not explode. Check with the airline for limitations.

You can bring more on a plane but wrap it well and put it in a plastic bag. As far as pressure? Not usually a problem but on my last beer run to Europe I found 8 broken bottles and one empty with the cap still on

Yes you can I just went on a trip and had a couple of bottles of Tequila Casa Noble and I asked the person in the counter if I could check them and she said no problem,restrictions are you may not take liquids on board with you not in your luggage.

Yes you can. There is a limit, it will on the customes form on the plane. If you bring more that you are allowed and you get checked, you will have to pay duty on it, or they can take the extra.

YES U CAN! BUT you must be over 21 if the decide to search it, and if they search it and ur underage they will throw it out (i had that happen a few years ago comng back from the caribbean). it would be better to check them, NOT carry on, and when you pack it, roll each bottle in a tee shirt for padding! NONE of mine broke =)
