Can you take bottles of alcohol in your carry on luggage or checked luggage

This from the TSA.GOV website




Travelers may now carry through security checkpoints travel-size toiletries (3 ounces or less) that fit comfortably in ONE, QUART-SIZE, clear plastic, zip-top bag.

With the exception of medications, any amount of liquid including alcohol greater than three ounces must be packed in your checked baggage.

Liquids, including alcohol purchased after clearing the security checkpoint are permitted aboard aircraft.


Please note, you can't take alcoholic beverages with more than 70% alcohol content (140 proof), including 95% grain alcohol and 150 proof rum, in your checked luggage.

You may take up to five liters of alcohol with alcohol content between 24% and 70% per person as checked luggage if it's packaged in a sealable bottle or flask.

Alcoholic beverages with less than 24% alcohol content are not subject to hazardous materials regulations.


















Alcoholic Beverages

Carry on is OK, but must meet the TSA standards, same as all other carry on liquids. 3 ounces or less.


Checked is also OK, no limits, but pack securely to avoid breakage and pilfering by baggage handlers.
