Drinking your own alcohol is not
per se illegal in the US. Legally, you can only drink alcohol that is served to you by a crew member, and you cannot be drunk. I know of at least one airline that says it's fine to bring a bottle on board, give it to a crew member, and ask that they serve it to you. And I know of a couple of airports in the US where concessionaires sell beer and wine that can be taken out of the premises (i.e., to your gate).
