The fact that this happened out of the blue means either there was a specific security threat that prompted it (terrorist threat), or an incident that caused them to institute the policy because something happened (underage drinking led to problems, etc.).
The fact that Universal is specifically saying this is NOT a permanent change leads me to believe this is just addressing a specific threat or problem which will pass.
I'm tempted to believe this is a security threat also, although as Teebin hinted at earlier, it would say a lot more if SeaWorld and/or Disney implemented a similar policy concurrently. If it were a specific threat directed at Uni, I'd expect a noticeable increase in security/OPD presence along with this policy. Sadly, Uni trying for more beverage sales is probably the most logical answer here.
