There’s other good speculation on the reasoning but I wonder if it’s due to the younger staff put in charge of posting this notice. Maybe they pestered management about the specific reasoning until they determined that hard liquor did not meet the provided definition of restricted items, then added the last sentence as a form of protest.
In my experience the library is often visited by homeless people because it’s free entertainment. A lot of the homeless people around my area are also alcoholics and have you ever tried to take alcohol away from an alcoholic. It’s not easy.
I’m very curious as to why, but I won’t argue.
I assumed it’s because the tenured faculty come in to do their research with a pocket flask.
Duh, obviously you need hard liquor for hard study. It’s pretty hard.

They have a resealable top. The library is most likely concerned about spills. Most of them have a no cans policy.
Beer dries sticky, does hard liquor dry out clean? It’s mostly water and alcohol so it might be better
Grain Vodka is the only one that leaves no traces. I knew a bartender who would clean his customer’s glasses with vodka when he saw they were dirty.
😅 i do most of my cleaning with alcohol. Is that not good?
Just don’t use it on screens.
For anyone wondering as to the reason: alcohol can ruin the anti-glare coating on matte displays.
Nonsense. My windows look gorgeous.
Generally relatively clean, though flavored liquors may contain sugar and most liqueurs do.
Opening cans is very distracting.
What about a bottle in a paper bag? That could be just as distracting!
What about a flask?
The most common kind with the cap attached to the metal hinge thingy rattles/jingles.
Perhaps a beer helmet and 2 bottles of liquor?
Don’t mess with the hard liquor lobby. If you know, you know
