It's probably a holdover from the old days when we were encouraged to drink and drive. In MD when I grew up, 18 year olds could buy beer and wine, there was no open-container law, the limit for blood alcohol was 0.15%, and the only thing illegal about drinking alcohol and driving was that it fell under the rule that said eating while driving was not allowed. Back then I could have downed a 6-pack as fast as I could get it down, gotten in a car and driven, and not have been breaking the law. There were plenty of bars all around the DC area that catered to motorcycle riders back then and no one seemed to think there was any problem.
