It is permissible to pray in the aforementioned place (the warehouse), provided that the spot where the worshipper's limbs rest is free from alcohol. The presence of impurities next to the worshipper does not matter as long as he does not touch them.
However, it is well-known that alcohol is clearly forbidden. Therefore, it is not permissible to store it or guard it. Rather, it must be denounced and spilled. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, cursed ten people regarding alcohol.
