It's an image. Guests walking around with generic white plastic cups looks different than guests walking around with beer cans.
The first time I saw this was at EPCOT during the arts festival last year.

Bud Light in a can is not classy, put it in a brown paper bag with the Epcot logo or a picture or Mickey on the bag makes that Bud Light in a can Classy!

Alcohol shouldn't be at the parks, period.

I'm trying to wrap my head around why walking around with a can of beer is not "classy", and is a "new low". If people were walking around Epcot chugging out of bottles of wine or drinking out of a fifth of Crown Royal, I could understand-but a can of beer is a single serving, made for drinking straight out of the container. It's the individual and the way they act when they are drinking that makes them not classy, not the can or cup in their hand. If you are a craft beer-only hipster or a Stella Artois-drinking beer snob, then maybe the fact that it is Bud Light might offend you 
And, let's face it-Epcot is a theme park, not a cocktail party at the governor's mansion.

I prefer malt vinegar on my fries. Wait, what are we talking about?

It isn't. I guess for some people having to acknowledge the fact that someone is drinking a beer is bad. It's much better if you can pretend they are drinking a soda if it's in a cup.

Or how about walking around with a applejuice juice box with a twisty strawIt isn't. I guess for some people having to acknowledge the fact that someone is drinking a beer is bad. It's much better if you can pretend they are drinking a soda if it's in a cup.

Sit that puppy in the sun long enough. Let it ferment. Already have the exhaust with the straw. Now even the kiddos can experience EPCOT like mum and pops!

OP, where did you even find Bud Light in Epcot?
That said, the thread title "A new low" is a bit dramatic.
I disagree. The vessel matters. I won't go to a bar if I know they serve in plastic cups. That's a college move. I'm a grown man, I drink beer in a glass.It isn't.

Speaking of being classy about their boozefest parks, what to think of the boozecarts in TPFKATDMGMS:
Selling booze in Pixar Place and they don't even have Buzz Lightbeer? It sells itself with a name like that....Hopefully they take that idea into TSL...

So walking around with a cup of beer in your hand is classy, but walking around with a can is not? Who are you kidding? You want to walk around drinking beer in public, but you don't want anyone else to know you're walking around drinking (cheap) beer in public? If you're that concerned about what other people might think of you, sweetheart, bring a stack of those red solo cups in your day bag. That'll fool 'em.

There is only one choice, Yuengling. Bud Light is for "white Trash" that's why they gave it to you in a can (just a joke don't get upset). I wish they had Yuengling Light also though.
No one really cares what kind of can someone is walking around with. If you felt like white trash I think that was all on you, I've been to chi-chi events and seen people with more money than they know what to do with holding a can of Bud and no one thinks anything of it. It's a drink, some like it some don't.. no stigma attached to it as being trashy... more stigma is attached to chi-chi things that make people seem a bit pretentious than by a brand of beer... I mean honestly who can really say they enjoy eating caviar? Anything that tastes so nasty you need to try and cover up the taste with a large cracker for every little dab of caviar... well to me that screams pretentious as I can't fathom anyone actually liking that god awful stuff.

I'd have asked for a cup just for the aesthetics, but honestly, who cares? If anybody at Epcot took the time and effort to judge you for your choice of beverage, or your choice of container, then they're the one who's got a problem with their priorities, not you.
There's no advertising value in people carrying plastic cups full of beer. Perhaps WDW's contract with AB/Inbev requires they hand the aluminum bottles over so other people will see what they're drinking...?
