Did you actually see the seatmate put liquor in the cup? I've sat by many people who've asked for a cup of ice b/c they just wanted ice or they had a soda they bought in the terminal...never liquor.

Yes, they were putting booze over the ice. On multiple occasions. C'mon. I'm sure there are those few, say, Northwest flyers who buy a $3 Coke instead of accepting a free Pepsi from the airplane, but they've got to be few and far between. A difference that makes no difference is not worth $3.
The people I've seen requesting ice were drinking alcohol, and I'm guessing this would be the case 99 times out of 100.

Since Delta raised the price of the 50 ml liquor bottles to $7 I place 1-2 similar refilled bottles in my Kippie Zippie (or my back pocket) and order a glass of water with a lotta ice from the FA. Oh yes occasionally I as for a stirrer (and so far no charge for it).

I've been carrying a little bourbon with me for a while now. It's been consumed on board and replenished a number of times, no worries. You just need to be discrete about it.
I've also got a flask, it's two 3 oz mini flasks that fit together in a sleeve that I've been thinking about taking, just for the fun of it. They're stamped "3 oz." on the bottom. Anyone try this one?

).Since the flask cost $20, figure I should just buy it at my dest.

This article states that the TSA prohibits taking flasks through security.

Is this new? Why wouldn't they say in the article that flasks must fit with the other TSA LAG rules? From the other posts on this thread, I thought that flasks were okay as long as they were small enough.

If your flask is empty, it's just like an empty water bottle - permitted.
