You can’t carry and drink.
I doubt there are many people going to a bar with a concealed carry permit and carrying a gun. What’s the point in being there if you aren’t going to drink?
You cannot drink and drive either, but that doesn't stop people from being designated drivers. I do not drink much, so I have no problem going to a bar with friends and not drinking.
The law was mostly aimed at restaurants that also serve alcohol, allowing CCW holders to order a meal most places.
Its illegal to possess and drink. People whose faculties are impaired should not carry in a public setting. Many can’t respond to a situation in a reasonable manner. They should leave this law alone. Flame away...

I don’t give up my right to self defense when tipsy. i don’t even give up that right when entering certain communist states.
And if I’m sober enough to stand or walk steadily, I’m sober enough to use a gun in the face of of a mortal threat caused by a criminal. Shaky elderly folks have the same right.
I also have many years of experience at leaving the gun right where it is, concealed safely, even when I’m rather tipsy.
