I wouldn't do this however, some would so here's today's Q & A.

Can I sneak booze onto the plane and serve myself?

Q: Do airlines allow passengers to bring their own booze onto the plane? I 
was thinking of putting some shot bottles of alcohol into my carryon and 
mixing my own drinks. Will the TSA object to this? What are the rules?

A: As long as the bottles are 3 ounces or less, the TSA won't object. 
Airlines are another matter. In general, they have rules that only flight 
attendants are allowed to serve alcohol. (This is no doubt to ensure that 
passengers don't get plastered and unruly, although truth be told it does 
eat into their onboard sales.) Technically, if you bring booze on board, 
some airlines require that you hand it over to the flight attendant, but 
what busy flight attendant is going to want to be mixing you free cocktails 
on demand? In practice, probably no one is going to bother you if you 
quietly add some vodka to your bloody Mary mix. Just drink sensibly and be 
discreet.
