I believe that's a matter of company policy - confirmed by our discreet pilot private messenger. It doesn't surprise me that Delta would set standards for pilot behavior in-uniform, even while off duty. (They don't want people to think 'Hey, that pilot just finished his fourth drink, and now he's going to fly a plane!)
