Bringing alcohol home

[Pigslice]

So yea in college alcohol is everywhere, but when I go home I have very few connections and I would like to throw some parties. Here its so easy to find someone over 21 to buy you whatever you want, but I don't have that luxury at home.

Then someone proposed to me that I just buy some here and take it back home in my non carry on luggage. I've ran it by a couple of people and their responses vary from "Oh yea it shouldn't be a problem since you're not bringing anything illegal back home" to "Dude you're screwed if you get caught with that and they scan everything".

I don't really know what to believe so I'm asking for thoughts here.
