About the only commute line I know that allows alcohol is Caltrain. Some of the stories are legendary, including groups doing tequila shots. A few conductors have explained to me that the stainless steel in the vestibules is relatively easy to clean up. It can get crazy though, and they have an alcohol curfew at 9 PM on any "event day" (Sharks, Giants, Levis Stadium, Stanford football) regardless of the time of the event. ACE doesn't normally allow alcohol consumption, but apparently their event train to Levi's Stadium doesn't even allow alcohol to be brought on board. They're also requiring passengers on these event trains to conform to the NFL's bag policy.
Most public transportation around here doesn't even allow one to eat or drink on board - outside of heavy rail. About the only exception I know of is VTA light rail, which allows consumption of beverages in a commuter cup that can be sealed.
I've talked to some conductors on Amtrak, and a few said that one beer here or there probably wouldn't raise an eyebrow, although they do sell alcohol on board.
