In addition to this: you can't drink your own alcohol on the flight, but I know of no FAA regulation that says you can't bring a bunch of mini bottles, simple syrup, cherry, and bitters and make yourself an old fashioned at the gate while you wait to board. Pack a rocks glass and a tiny shaker and everyone will think you are simultaneously the weirdest and most baller person in Group 5. And technically ice isn't a liquid.
Heh that’s a good call. I also take the “rule” about not bringing your own alcohol on the plane with a pile of salt. In practice, it’s easy to dump nips into a soda during a flight without being caught.
