Wondering...

Ever since I moved to New York, I've seen a lot of people walking around with beverages in brown paper bags. Interestingly, very few of these beverages are alcoholic (the paper bag no longer offers any "legal" protection in NYC).

Most are soda, juice, water, etc. So what's the point?

Is this an example of urban style, similar to a clothing fashion? Are juice drinkers trying to pretend to be beer drinkers?

Is there some other rational reason to mask a beverage's identity?
