According the the website the alcohol limit is "2 cases of beer per person per car, and one (1) 1.75 liter of hard liquor per person per car, and 2 boxes of wine per person per car." what would you consider a "case of beer" is? 12? 24? I'm from Canada and consider a case to be 24.

Don't group all of Canada together on that one. The Maritimers call a 12pack a case.
Also, someone just asked about this a couple weeks ago. Shouldn't be difficult to find.

FWIW...in 2008 we had our RV searched by the ATF and they pulled out 4 handles of vodka. They asked us where we purchased them and a girl in our RV said Chicago without thinking. We were told that we had brought more than the allowed amount over State lines which was considered a felony. They walked away from the car for a while and came back to tell us they didn't have the appropriate paperwork to file the charge but were confiscating our alcohol. The whole thing seemed like a shakedown to steal our liquor but what the heck were we going to do about it.
Moral of the story, when asked where you bought your liquor, tell them Tennessee.
I plan on washing out a shampoo bottle the big bottle and filling it with vodka. Had anyone ever smuggled excess alcohol in or is this not a good topic for this thread. I know the first time I went in 2004 I bright a cas e that's right twelve bottles glass bottles of homemade wine in, they opened the trunk and poked a bit but didn't pull out the box with the wine. I plan on emptying two boxes of wine and refilling them with homemade wine.
Lets get smuggling, people! (I almost forgot the comma so it would have been lets get smuggling people!)

Why can't I give an article more than one thumbs up?

I can confirm this. As well as calling a 24 a flat. But I don't believe this is exclusive to the maritimes.

Just put vodka in a water jug. That's what I would do.

Whatever you call it, I know you bought it from "The Beer Store" or the "L.C.B.O."
I live on the Canadian border and spent a lot of time there when I was 19.

smart! they dont check it?
The liquor rule is not strictly enforced. It seems to be more to prevent people from setting up cash bars in their campsites, which was fairly common back in the early days. Last year we had a large group in an RV, but half of us came in the RV and the other half came in later in a car. We had enough liquor for the whole group, and were WAY over what should have been allowed for the 4 of us, but all things considered was not an absurd amount of booze. The only comment we got was that the dude checking out our RV had never heard of Natty Boh.

That's not always the easiest option for some people. I like to be packed and ready when I hit the road. Plus some people may have deals that can't be beat depending on what state they live in. Taxes on alcohol can be much lower in some places.

But yes, the easy option is just but in TN.
Sure, it's just the attorney in me getting uncomfortable that you're advising everyone to lie to the cops rather than comply with the law. Support the local economy and so on and so forth.

I advise nothing...just telling a story of my own travels

Dude, you got screwed. I came last year with 2 cases of beer, 3 boxes of wine, a handle of Canadian whiskey, and vodka in water bottles tucked in with regular bottles of water in the cooler. 4 handles isn't a felony, they just got mad cause you bent the rules too far. I'm not an attorney, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Select once.
There is ONE volunteer that a few of us with Rvs/campers have run up against in the GA line... and that deputy wanna be will make your life hellish intentionally. He will insist that the rules say OR Beer OR a handle OR wine.. and that ONE will make your life miserable, take the booze etc etc. Buy in TN and have a print from the web sight just in case.

We had 8 people in our RV.
Sorry, I didn't realize you had 8 in the RV. You sir, got shook-down. Every time I've been busted for anything they have extra paperwork laying everywhere.
