TL;DR
Recent traveler reports suggest large checked bags are not usually opened specifically for liquids, although they may be screened by airport security. Carry-on bags can be requested for conveyor-belt screening.
Carry-on luggage is more likely to be checked: travelers may be asked to place a small suitcase or bag on the screening belt.
There were no reported cases of travelers routinely being required to remove liquids from checked baggage and prove they were not alcohol. Unless it is essential medication, buying drinks locally or in duty free may be more practical.
According to traveler reports, large checked suitcases are normally not opened for minor items. However, baggage may undergo internal security screening, and conspicuous undeclared items could prompt questions.
