I'm not entirely sure, but I would think that it would be fine because they really wouldn't be able to tell if you are of age or under age. I mean all you need to do is make sure that it doesn't break and make all your clothes smell like booze, Made that mistake once and some of my clothing smelt of wonderful whiskey.

I'd go for it.

I can't think of any problems you would have.  I'm pretty sure the TSA (which searches bags) has no way of finding out your age unless it's on your luggage tag, and even then I'm still thinking they can't confiscate it.

dont do the nalgene thing, thats fucking retarded, if i xrayed a bag with nalgene bottles full id be suspicious.

you have nothing to worry about, id just leave it in the reg bottles and put a soccer sock around it, always worked for me when ive been travelling with liqour

Soccer socks are big...


Anyways just do it, I doubt you'll get caught.

I've traveled with nalgene's before (all empty) and my bag got searched last time I went camping in New Mexico but that also might have been for my knives and other little weird things like that that I brought along.

o, wow, sorry. i thought you mean bring it on your carry on

you can definitely bring alcohol in your checked luggage. unless its a danger to the passengers (like a bomb), i dont think they would care what so ever.

If its not in your carry on there won't be a problem.  I've done it many times.

i brought a fuckload of rum back from puerto rico.

the biggest problem you'd have is making sure it doesnt break/leak all over your shit. put it amongst soft clothing and you'll be in the clear.

its fine, you just have to be really careful the bottle doesn't break. I flew back to school today after spring break and I put a glass cereal bowl in the bag that I stowed. I wrapped it up in a bunch of clothes but that fucker still shattered into a million pieces.Jetblue must have really abused the bag. I'm scared to wear my boxers now because they were covered in little glass shards. FML

Definitely can't bring it on the plane because you can't bring liquids.  Check it, I've done that numerous times bringing back lots of booze from Mexico.  Never got caught and nobody I was with ever got caught.  You can also buy booze at duty free for mad cheap and bring that back, just pack it good so it doesn't break open.
