According to the FAA, there are no limits on how muchalcohol you can pack in your checked luggage if thealcohol by volume is less than 24 percent (generally beerand wine). Between 24 and 70 percent, however, the FAA limitspassengers to 5 liters.
Checked Baggage
Travelers may take up to five liters of alcoholwith alcohol content between 24% and 70% per person aschecked luggage if it's packaged in a sealable bottleor flask. Alcoholic beverages with less than 24%alcohol content are not subject to hazardous materialsregulations.According to the FAA, it's all about the alcoholcontent! Alcohol less than 24% alcohol by volume(ABV) or 48 proof, like most beers and wine: For carry-on you arelimited to containers of 3.4oz or less that can fit comfortably inone quart-sized, clear, zip-top bag.

For example, to convert 10 mL of ethanol tograms, look up the density of ethanol: 0.789g/mL.In the United States, one "standard" drink (or onealcoholic drink equivalent) contains roughly 14 grams ofpure alcohol, which is found in: 12 ounces of regular beer,which is usually about 5% alcohol. 5 ounces of wine, whichis typically about 12% alcohol. 1.5 ounces of distilledspirits, which is about 40% alcohol.
To calculate the number of drinking units, it isnecessary to know the grams of alcohol contained inthe alcoholic beverage and how to translate % abv intograms of alcohol. To translate volume (e.g. ml) tomass (e.g. g) and vice versa, it is necessary to know thedensity. Alcohol density d=0.8g/ml.
