I assume you are referring to airports in the US or Canada.

The answers are no, no, and no.

You can purchase things to drink in shops after the security inspection

The TSA will be making spot checks in the boarding areas to make sure the
restrictions are complied with.

Very spotty checks. How much are they willing to delay boardings.
