So I have a few questions, am I better off buying the little airline size liquor bottles at my local liquor store for 99 cents each or buying a small bottle from duty free? I am guessing it is easier to hide the little bottles, but I can probably get a better quality liquor at duty free. In the event that an FA catches me what will she do? Keep in mind i will not be making a scene.
Your neighborhood liquor store is your friend

When I ran out of my DL Drink Certs, I started going to the liquor store and buying small bottles of baileys to add to my coffee. I usually bring 4 bottles with me (2 for the outbound, 2 for the return). TSA never had a problem with them. Never been caught by an FA.

YMMV
