Is it really a good idea to encourage the consumption
of alcohol for people who are flying and driving? Just
a thought.

Get a life, Don!
The drinking takes place after the flying and driving and is not going
to be excessive from what I have seen in 25 years of soaring. I think
it's a cute idea to draw attention to this contest (ever heard of
marketing?)
If I couldn't trust someone to drink responsibly I sure as hell
wouldn't want them to fly with me in the same airspace.
