If you fit into the norm, then there will be no questions. If not, then there may be.
Norm per person: 1 bottle of strong alcoholic drink (vodka, whiskey), 2 bottles of wine, 20 packs of cigarettes.

As mishatour quite rightly noted above, if within the limits of what is permitted, then there are no problems. After all, you are close relatives, which means that luggage / carry-on luggage is common.
As for carrying excess baggage, the chance to smuggle is high - tourists are rarely screened. Last year, we had tourists who were screened and selected a bag of fruit (vegetarian products cannot be imported).
This year, several bottles of whiskey, vodka and blocks of cigarettes were taken from our regular tourists. They bought all this for a promotion in duty free and did not think of transferring it to bags afterward - they were transported in branded packages. That's why the customs officers wrapped them up for inspection - you don't often meet tourists with 4-5 bags of duty free for each ...

Alcohol and drinks in general are best checked in as luggage. Not in hand luggage. On an airplane, they are unlikely to come in handy. Yes, and cigars too. E: if you have a bottle of even cola with you, get ready that they may be asked to open and drink from it. This is for security reasons.

Is cola a joke? What, will they let her on board in Boryspil ???
As far as I know, there (as in most airports in other countries) they don’t bother and simply take away such liquids from hand luggage!

We don't smoke, so I don't know about cigarettes. But they brought 3 bottles of liquor and vodka. Nobody checked.
