If you pout a balloon in to a mountain 1st sure think that wont happen is pop .The balloon will lose pressure in the in site mach more then the off site.
Since there is no external pressure to counteract the internal gas pressure, the gas would expand until the balloon burst.
The balloon would get larger as the air pressure outside it dropped. At some height, the balloon would get large enough to burst.
It would spoil the alcohol due to the plastic in the balloon, but it wouldn't doa anything else, unless the balloon or the alcohol was hot, the the balloon would pop.

i probably wouldn't say the air had potential energy just that an inflated balloon has potential energy.
I'd say that an inflated balloon would be strain, but could you specify what potential energy? Chemical potential? Gravitational potential?

The air would escape through the mouth causing the balloon to DEflate
When the temperature drops gases contract, so the balloon would be less inflated. This is the same reason why tire pressure drops when it gets cold outside.
Changes in air pressure
The length would stay the same as the pressure inside the balloon equals the atmospheric pressure.
It would get smaller as the air inside the ballon contracted.
The air molecules would expand, increasing the pressure of the balloon. When anything gets cold, it contracts, and when heated, it expands. Atoms and molecules are always moving - when something is hot, the molecules are moving faster and greater distances. When something is cold, the molecules are still moving, just slowly and at much smaller distances. You won't see much a difference while it's partially inflated, though there would be one. You can see results more drastically by heating a balloon that is near completely inflated. The more air molecules that are in the balloon, the greater the expansion. In other words, the bigger the balloon and more air that's in it, when heated you will see a larger change in the balloon size.
the balloon would probably put on a jumper
The hot air balloon inflated as we went down to the ground. The water raft inflated as I jumped on it.
