stock up on vs with

[ostap77]

"I usually stock up on alcohol in the duty-free shop when going on vacation."


OR

"I usually stock up with alcohol in the duty-free shop when going on vacation."

Which preposition does "stock up" take "on" or "with''?

 

[riquecohen]

I would say "stock up on."

 

[bhaisahab]

I would say "stock up with".;-)

 

[Barb_D]

I'd say "stock up on."

If you are getting the liquor to enjoy on your vacation, then the way you have it is fine.

If you visit the duty-free shop while you are on your vacation, then "while on vacation" is better.

Thanks a bunch for clarification on this subtle difference! I might have got into trouble.:up:

Both are possible, but I would say that 'on' is more commonly used.
