Seriously. Wasn't aware of it. I bought a brand new Trek 2 yrs ago. No mention of drinking, alcohol or bar hopping when I did.
Did you get an Earl? That's their bar hopper special- built into the split top tube

Personally, I don't see it as 'enabling' as much as savvy marketing. Face it, most people (typically males) like to drink after physical activity- baseball, basketball, football, bike polo.... beer aids in recovery and not everyone likes to go hang out in a bar after a century ride either. Moderation is the key.
