Bourbon/whiskey tradition or not a lot of the South has this very moralistic relationship with alcohol where because of Baptist and similarly strict religious traditions casual alcohol use was forbidden or looked down on, so even today in a lot of less urban places you wouldn’t see adults having a beer or glass of wine with lunch. They kind of conceptualize drinking as an all or nothing thing where college students or alcoholics binge and respectable adults abstain. Of course its changing quickly but its always weird coming back here and being constantly hassled for id instead of having wine pushed on you by a server as you have in other places.
