I know there is a limit, (I guess that goes for the bar alcohol AND the lab alcohol....) and I recall the amount to be something rediculous, like 1 liter.  I could be getting my shipping volumes mixed up with my bench top volumes, but either way, it's not much.

Can you imagine telling a red neck in a bar that he has to go under 
a hood to drink his large Jack Daniels!  Especially as the candles 
are alight on the dinning area tables.
