Why would they take it from you during a gate sweep? Liquids purchased inside of security are allowed on the airplane.

Around 6000 feet the bottle suddenly begins to crush.
The aircraft's altitude will have nothing to do with it. The bottle will begin to crush as soon as the pressurization system begins to descend the cabin which is usually as soon as the aircraft begins it's initial descent.
