It's probably because they hate you, personally.
Either that or disgruntled haulers like to create the illusion that they're working by stuffing every barrel they can get their hands on into the food stockpile and then putting a single unit of food in each one so that it can't be used for anything else.
The way to deal with this is to make one stockpile that forbids drinks and limit sthe number of barrels to something reasonable, and then make a separate, booze-only stockpile that accepts all the barrels it can hold.
If the lack of barrels means you start running out of room in your food stockpile, cook up some lavish meals - you can stack like ten of them in one space.
Oh, and about the discarded clothes in your barracks, you see your soldiers get a little too excited sometimes when they're...wrestling, and will often tear their partner's clothes off. Unfortunately you can't set owned items to be dumped, and they never seem to get around to picking their stuff back up, so as far as I know there's nothing that can be done about the clutter.
