Nobody's "panties are in a twist," as you so eloquently conjectured.

Many of America's alcohol-related regulations are, literally, Puritan in origin and exist largely due to historical precedent. [1] [2]

Thus, when encountering a surprisingly harsh anti-alcohol regulation, it's reasonable to question its origin and validity.

"Surprisingly harsh" to who? Are you also upset you can't bring a kegger to a construction site to get all liquored up before you hop in the backhoe? Are the puritans also responsible for OSHA safety regulations?
