Restaurants are supposed to monitor patrons level of alcohol consumption. Otherwise they can be held liable for damages resulting in accidents related to DUIs or can potentially lose their liquor license. Alcohol to go totally breaks that system. They also can’t monitor who gets the alcohol (are they of legal age? over the legal limit? etc.) Most areas in the US ban public consumption if alcohol. The bottles cannot even be displayed in the open. Putting alcohol in an unmarked to go container would circumvent the law as well.
