I dont want my boss to see the liquor when they check my bag at security. I am over 21, and it will be in my carry on bag (one of two bags...not my laptop bag, but my bag with clothes).
Should I take a bottle? Or should I fill up a 20oz water bottle and carry it on by hand? It's clear rum..and 20oz is plenty for me.

I just came back from a flight and they do tell you once on board that you cannot bring on your own liquor. Put it in a water bottle, they will never know..they charge an arm and a let just for a beer.

You can carry 5 liters or less onboard. However you can not put it in a water bottle. At TSA you will be asked to open the container possibly and open containers of alcohol are not allowed on board. Secondly, alcohol has to be in a properly labeled container. I went to a winery and brought back 2 bottles of wine in my carry on.
What ever you do, DO NOT PUT THE BOTTLE IN YOUR CHECKED BAG. For one, it will be removed. Secondly if it breaks inflight and leaks all over your belongings or others, you will be responsible for any damages. Just wrap it well and pack it in your carry on. People who fly from the carribean and bring back rum carry it on by hand..but its in a secured box. That is the only way you can travel with it.

Yes, you can bring liquor on-board the plane in your carry on bag. http://www.tsa.gov/assets/pdf/Permitted_Prohibited_NEW.pdf
Don't worry, your boss won't see the bottle as it goes through the x-ray machine. If they do have to search your bag, you can request that you be privately screened so that your boss doesn't see the bottle. As someone suggested, the bottle wrapped as a present is another good idea.
I wouldn't put it in a water bottle as if you're caught with it, they'll confiscate it, if you drink from it on the plane. You are allowed to carry it on-board, but you can't bring it on-board.

You can not take an open container of alchohol onto an aircraft, and if you take it as cary on they will take it out of your bag at security to inspect it.
If you want to drink some on the plane, the bottle will have to be surrendered to the flight attendant and they will not return any unused portion back to you at the end of your flight, it's not allowed.

"No you can't because if you bring on your own liquor and get drunk, get off the flight and God Forbid Kill Somebody, even Yourself, that airline can become Liable, Trust me I'm a Flight Attendant, and I deal will this issue often, Just bring you Credit card, and allow the flight attendants to serve you what you want onboard, and don't forget to bring some Cash, because I know you're going to tip the flight attendants, because they aren't going to try down anything, but their collar (lol) Just kidding, But sometimes they might not charge you for all the drinks your having, so just be pleasant towards them, it goes along way, besides you never know when you may need them to assist you in a situation, remember, "WE" are trained "Safety Professionals,"Not just Service Goddess...
Have a Great Flight" & be Sure to buckle up....

Carry it on in a water bottle or better yet I used a bodah bag. It's a leather pouch that is mainly used for wine but you can put anything in it and it straps to you're body under your clothing and is not picked up by the scanners. I used this when I was delivering cocaine to a client on my last business trip. lmao

No matter how you carry it it has to go through security, and it could possibly break in transfer. Better to try to get some on the plane or wait until you land.

Its not a good idea to get drunk on a plane when travelling with your boss. Its even worse if you are drinking booze that you smuggled aboard.
Airlines do not allow you to drink your own on a plane (someone else said this).
Do you value your job?
Then don't risk it.
Drink when you are on your own time, not the company's.

You can carry alchol on the plane. It has to be packed and stored in the overhead bins or underneath the seat. Don't pull it out and start drinking it.
