if you use one, make that one unstack automatically in the inventory, and make the stack unusuable if there aren't enough spaces in your inventory.
edit:
Adding another explanation, since you people obviously do not know what is going on:
A STACK of Keg of Hunter's Ale would be:
250 Kegs of Hunter's Ale with 50 charges EACH.
If you use the stack, you end up with
249 Kegs of Hunter's Ale with 50 charges EACH and ONE Keg Of Hunter's Ale with 49 charges.
Was that really hard?

I see no problem with this, I never had kegs when I was doing booze.

get a stack for one with 50 uses, one with 49 uses ...

The only way it could is if you could "merge" ales together (shift click on one keg with 50 uses, then on another with 49, and get a new keg with 99). But since a mechanic like that has NEVER existed and would need to be done just for this... /notsigned Way too much effort to code. Just drink em (or sell em). Even if you get 5 kegs a week from the traveller, you still have enough time to drink them all before the next week.

Having the full items stackable is not a game-mechanics issue. They could make them stackable. And they could make Perfect Salvage Kits stackable too. Of course, when they're trying to get people to spend real cash on xunlai storage space, there's a bit of a disincentive to make such an improvement.
A few days ago I sold a "keg party package" on the guru auction section. It consisted of 3 full kegs for 44k.

Making them each be their own item was a stupid idea when we already have a number of other ales that give a full five minutes. Allowing them to be stackable would be very sensible.

Game mechanics , even its the same item a 19 uses keg cant be stacked with some that havent been used yet. Its like weap mods , cant stack em because a 20/20 is not the same than a 20/19 . Cant make em stackable without changing that. ...

The OP said that the one that was a different number would automatically unstack.
I.E. you have two stacked 50 use kegs and a full inventory, you can't use one because it would unstack and you have no space.

Again though, they would have to completely change how items are stored... just for this one obscure item. It's not going to happen.

A "stack" is a stack of SINGLE items which perform one single task. Therefore, a stack of items with charges, simply dosen't work if you can stack them with different charges into one item and expect to break them down again back to normal.
Say you have a dying salvage kit and throw another on top of it, use a charge then throw another on top of it, use a few, throw another on top.. you are going to have screwed up kits if you ever expect to break them down into original items again. It probably won't work.
It sounds like an extremely bad file fragmentation nightmare on a hard drive.

Alternate suggestion to solve the mechanics problem: Create a collector who will convert 5 kegs of ale into one barrel of ale, which has 250 uses. Perhaps with a 100g fee.
Yes it introduces a new item, but it seems like it would be easier than trying to get the stacking thing to work.

I say just leave it alone at this point. Some things can be suggested and easily implemented and other cannot. We already got so many good addons to guildwars since release just enjoy.

I think all max charge items should be stackable, including runes and insignias. Using an item from such separate it from rest of the stack.
OT: I think 50-charge Kegs should stack, while 1-49 charge would not.

I got a better idea, make them so that you can double click on them and get all the pts at once, then you want have to waste any more precious space. Jk, I know that would be even more game breaking than otherwise noted.
Just a thought though what would it be like "if" you could mix drinks(you can in the real world)to make an even more powerful drink....for instance the full whiskey shot glass dropped into the mug of beer and chugged = one seriously messed up drunk person. And then lets say you could mix two drinks all pt values over 5 levels of drunk are absorbed upon consumption, but you get limited to 15pts over per day or something like that.
You know what would happen, everyone would still complain.

If a collector would give us separate aged ales for our kegs then we could stack them a bit more easily, like 250 instead of max 50 drinks per slot and it wouldn't require an extra item type. Perhaps a barkeeper NPC could even swap drink types for us too.
Personally I wouldn't mind if all those drinks were removed from the game altogether, as drinking them is too tedious when you have to count the minutes. Or make them easily drinkable like the sweet beverages.

Or.
Why not be able to "merge" two kegs? So, you've got one keg with 10 uses left, and another with 40, put them together and you've got one full keg. That would allow them to stack.
crazybanshee
There's probably something in the coding that keeps these from stacking (maybe they can't make it sort a 49 use keg from a 50 use so they don't stack them at all?) Probably also why they can't stack mods and weapons (ie can't sort a 14^50 from a 15^50 or something)

All that needs to happen is to turn each individual keg into X items of the same level alcohol, depending on how many uses are left.

FULL 50/50 kegs should be stackable, lesser ones don't need to be.
It would surely require some coding as it would be a new feature, but it could come as an addition to a much more needed update - making identical Weapon Mods and Inscriptions stackable.

People keep whining about how ITS NOT POSSIBLE TO CODE THIS, but I wonder with what kind of authority they are spewing their opinions.
lilDeath
There are lots of ways to get around this supposed coding problem and stacking it.
The real problem is Anet is focusing on GW2 and they have limited resources that have more than enough to do on GW1 - BUG fixes, Hero AI, Balance updates, XTH, HB, etc etc.
They could even have the 250 kegs stack, and when you use one, it starts counting down, 249 + 49/50, or...
Split the one off that's being used (opened) and keep the 249 together.
so..
/signed (again)
But they won't, so meh (see weapon upgrades / inscriptions for more examples of why they won't... too much work for them)

They can't make items with uses stackable.
It has been asked before with kits.
