there is a TSA issue:
Alcoholic beverages- 24 to 70 percent by volume (48 - 140 proof)
* Covers most alcoholic beverages
* Limited to 5 liters (1.3 gallons) per passenger
Alcoholic beverages more than 70 percent by volume (140 proof) are not permitted onboard the aircraft.
this is on the ua site. you will find a similar one on aa. you can also find it on the TSA site.
1.3 gal is about 6 or 7 bottles.
