I'm not a recruiter, but I do hiring for my team. I often check social media profiles for red flags because I want to find something before my bosses do.
I don't do any judgement on looks or appearance but if you're hitting a bong or shotgunning a beer on your publicly available page, I have to assume that someone else in my company can find it and ask me why I didn't notice this, and also it makes me question your judgement in the first place.
It isn't as much about what people do in their free time. If you're an adult who is serious about building a career, you're going to make sure stuff like this isn't publicly available. I know I'm not alone and I think most companies are doing this now as well.

I checked their social media sites and found that this person changed jobs about 6 months ago, and they were actively discussing sabotage against their former employer. I was grateful to be able to get that kind of heads up before even calling the candidate for a phone interview.
