If you order a bottle of wine in a restaurant and drink half of it, the wait staff will tell you to take the bottle home with you. You can watch the sun set at Sunset Point on the Bridge, and have cocktails.
I'm very surprised that they would ticket someone at SS sitting in their golfcart enjoying a beverage. Perhaps some of these things aren't legal, but it sure seems that they are, based on four years of observation. Clarification is definitely required on this subject.

2) If it did happen - the legal technicality might be the keys were in the switch. Stupid technicality, I know, but it makes it a legal infraction to have an open container in a vehicle either moving or stopped with keys in the switch. Just remove the key and you are safe.
Downeaster made a couple of excellent remarks about the costs of upgrading the speed of your cart - especially the insurance one.

I totally agree with barefoot that clarifiication is needed on this subject.
Tbugs - I agree that "something does not make sense".
When determining who's telling the truth in her court cases, Judy Judy always says that "if something does not make sense, then it's not true".
