If you are in AGD and you go to a bar in street clothes and everyone in the bar knows you are AGD what makes you any different than the person wearing letters?
I think not drinking in letters is just another rule, that has been made up by some nationals to try and lower liability.
The reason my fraternity drinks in letters is because we don't see anything wrong with it, and we don't look at it as being disrespectful. Its not like we are doing anything wrong. Its not like we are going out and robbing a bank.

I have said this in other posts...
We can drink in letters, as it is not a violation of bylaws, but we cannot drink in letters at a bar (as defined by our risk mgmt rules - anyplace that makes more than 50% of its profits from booze) so yeah, TGI Fridays OK, Bennagins OK, Fox and Hound or Flying Saucer, not OK.
Most brothers wont drink in letters anyway. I dont. At spring break, I turned my letters inside out to drink. We have 1 or 2 brothers tho who will still drink in letters at a party. We all kinda frown on that, but oh well, not breaking any rules....
I dont so much think its disrespectful todrink in letters as it is trashy.
Seriously, who goes to a bar or party in letters? Dont ya'll at least dress up to go out? I throw on some khakis and a collared shirt. Peopel will see you out and especially if you are trying to hook up dont you wanna look your best and like you spent at least 5 minutes getting ready? I also shave, shower etc. Wont go out otherwise. 'Cause damn soon as I do, I'll bump into my ex-girlfriend or one of her minions.
I love my letters, but lets face it, its a damn t-shirt with fabric sewn on it! How classy is that?
