    Carrying Alcohol In Your Checked Baggage

    Please note, you can’t take alcoholic beverages with more than 70% alcohol content (140 proof), including 95% grain alcohol and 150 proof rum, in your checked luggage.

    You may take up to five liters of alcohol with alcohol content between 24% and 70% per person as checked luggage if it’s packaged in a sealable bottle or flask.

    Alcoholic beverages with less than 24% alcohol content are not subject to hazardous materials regulations.

    That is from the TSA site: TSA: Traveling with Special Items

    Mexico limits are:
    Adults ages 18 and older may bring up to 20 cigarette cartons, 25 cigars, 200 grams of tobacco

    Adults ages 18 and older may bring up to 3 liters of wine, beer or liquor

    Mexican regulations limit the value of goods (above and beyond the personal possessions listed above) brought into Mexico by U.S. citizens. Visitors arriving by air or sea can bring into Mexico goods valued up to $300 ( U.S.) per person. Visitors arriving by land can bring into Mexico goods valued up to $50 ( U.S.) per person. Amounts exceeding the duty-free limit are subject to a 32.8 percent tax.

    Oh and check this out for traveling with bottled alcohol:

    Do not be surprised if they cut your locks after they leave the counter. I've picked up my luggage at my destination with a nice little note stating my bag went through extra security and my CUT lock was taped to my luggage. How sweet of them for my safety!

    They are TSA locks... all airports have the master key for TSA luggage locks.

    Our favorite shot is pinneapple upside down cake shots....everyone we have had tried them has loved them. Mix cake vodka, pinneapple juice & sprite (we've also added grenadine in them when we have it). Whipped cream is good in sprite, orange soda, & rootbeer too. :daveandmo:
