The incident was first reported by The Wall Street Journal.
Alcohol is officially banned at the San Antonio plant where the plane is being developed.
However, two miniature bottles of tequila were found on one of the planes, according to the Journal.
Boeing said the issue is being treated as an internal matter.

The Journal aerospace giant said the incident is not being classed as a case of what’s known as “foreign object debris,” which comes about when items such as rags or tools are left behind in the manufacturing process.
The White House did not offer a comment, but the Air Force said it was informed by Boeing of the incident, the Journal reported.
The Air Force said there was no apparent impact on the plane’s construction.
