Probably the same logic as having pretzels or peanuts in a bar. Bacon
is salty. Salt makes people thirsty

But.... they are offering $1 beers. I can't see them making enough
money on the beer to pay for the bacon. Worse.... beer doesn't really
go well with bacon so they won't even be increasing the volume of beer
sales.

they'll be there.

I think most bacon enthusiasts will eat it till they founder if given a
large enough pile.

I will volunteer for your study.
I'll even provide my own beer. You know, I wish they could make good tasting non-alcohol beer so I could drink it at any time of day.

Yeah: Beer. Pot liquor is good for dunking bread in, but it's not
really "Liquor". Likewise sassafras and sarsaparilla, their drinks and
their faux drinks--not beer.

That said, I love a really good root beer. When I was a kid I had
sarsaparilla drink a couple of times and loved it. Haven't seen it
since.
