Not doing so seems rather short-sighted.

From what I've read and heard, in the last couple of years they've restricted alcohol to certain zones of the stadium, and only a handful of vendors can even sell beer. On top of that the organizers have been vocal about cracking down on public intoxication and have been throwing people out and/or refusing entry to people who appear drunk. They have definitely not been lax on account of it being a big sporting event, at least not lately.
