On a recent trip I bought a bottle of XO Cognac I saved a few

You are a deeply sad person.

How so?

I do the same thing. I save empty 50 ml bottles of liquor and
re-fill them at home and bring them with me when I fly.
Sometimes 4 of them at a time. I always get them past screening
with no questions or issues.

Why bother?

The stuff isn't that expensive.

And also isn't there a rule by the airlines (not TSA) that all
liquor consumed in the cabin must have been supplied by the carrier?

There is, but who said they were planning to consume it on board the
flight?

Well reasonably obviously if you don't intend drinking it on the
flight you can put the stuff in a case in the hold.

It was a low-cost airline with hand-carry baggage allowance only.

So you went to all that trouble because you're too stingy to take hold
baggage on a **** airline?

It had nothing to do with being stingy. It was only a trip for a few
days, and I anticipated a small hand-carry bag being more than enough. I
accept it was rather stupid to have bought the bottle of brandy in the
first place, but I totally forgot about the consequences at the time.

You really are a sad little man.

Why the need to be offensive? Can't you carry on a reasonable discussion
without having to tack on derogatory personal comments after everything
you say?

I try not to, but I'm afraid you invite it.
