It's an insurance issue - kegs are considered "mass consumption" containers, or something similar (can't remember the "legal" term you see in policies), where cans/bottles are not.

Never made sense to me - whereas if 150+ people are at a party, what's the difference between 2-3 kegs and 5-10 cases of beer? None that I can see, but the insurance industry must have actuarial numbers to support the distinction.
