i reckon the deliveries are checked by the police etc, they must be if you can take items aboard bought after the security point

Cant see the police doing random sniff or taste tests on all deliverys to airside shops - its all just a big con to rid you of even more money.
Travelled from Dalaman 2 weeks ago and you could take water,coke etc through security no problem at all - all bags were scanned before you even got into the airport and hand luggage and yourself scanned again at the gate
PROPER SECURITY !!!

This rumour is definitely just an anti-Ryanair myth and should be ignored.

Taking miniature bottles of whisk(e)y through security control is allowed as they fall within EU liquids guidelines. Buying full-size ones once through security is also allowed as (supposedly, at least) their provenance can be verified. Drinking them on board the plane is a different matter, however, and Ryanair, in common with pretty much every other airline, prohibits the consumption of self-bought alcohol. This is more to do with monitoring consumption to prevent excessive drinking at altitude than protecting revenue (it's free on BA/Lufthansa/etc. yet they still enforce the rule).

On the other hand, everyone who buys overpriced miniature shampoo in supermarkets is stupid: have you never noticed that the free ones from hotels are the perfect size to carry in hand luggage?
