On Ryanair your duty-free bag with duty-free items is permitted in the cabin along with your cabin bags, but Ryanair's terms list alcohol stronger than 70% ABV (140 proof) among prohibited substances. Alcohol you bring from home counts as a liquid, so in hand luggage it must follow Ryanair's liquids rule.
