While I don't think it's a big hardship to not have photos boozing it up online, I also don't think anyone should take the effort to Puritanical extremes. For instance, and this is totally hypothetical since I have no authority in this area, I don't think I'd try to take action against a member who was above the legal drinking age who posted no photos of herself with alcohol connected to her page, but who appeared to be drinking a photo tagged by others. The effort not to connect GLO signs, symbols, or letters with alcohol doesn't extend to requiring that members of legal age not drink in public ever, so I'm not sure why a photo, which wasn't otherwise inappropriate in content, of a person with something that appeared to be alcohol generally being on the internet would be a big problem, tagged on facebook or otherwise.
I suspect that having a outright ban on alcohol images connected with GLOs is just a whole lot easier than making the repeated judgment calls about, well, this photo with a beer bottle is fine but this one isn't because you look drunk, etc.

I doubt anyone would get that upset about a tagged photo...just de tag it, no big deal.
It is definitely easier to just say don't do it then have to figure out what situation is ok. And leaving it open also leaves room to discriminate against one girl versus another.
It IS an option for a woman of legal age to choose between being affiliated online with her letters or posting pictures of booze. What I can't wrap my head around is why anyone would choose the booze.
