I was born and raised in the states and I've never experienced this. There's usually beer or wine for the adults who want it at every gathering. The one exception is maybe baptisms but only because the reception is usually in the church hall. Maybe it's a southern thing? I've never been to the south and they do have some weirdly puritan social beliefs.

Yeah, I've seen it in the south and in Utah, both very religious, very odd areas.
