Since we are flying out from Buffalo, is the "standard plan" to hit the Duty Free store as you cross the border? If so, then would the booze that you pick up have to go into your checked baggage? I don't think you can take it as carry on.
If it is is checked baggage, what do you usually pack it in so it makes it in 1 piece?
