Since the bar obsession has gotten considerably less, is this still happening to anyone ?

My game's been like this forever. I just manually move the drinks to the fridge, since my bar is usually far enough away that making them put them away takes too long.
Also while most won't drink the drinks left out (Visitors will) my sims love the drinks once they've been in the fridge and will autonomously grab them a lot

Yes, this is continuing in my game. What's weird is one of my celebrity sims who has the needs-to-drink-for-fun quirk also leaves the drink he's just made on the bar, even though he'll also be sporting a debuff for not having had a drink recently. He should be guzzling that drink down as he's in a mood about not having had a drink, but no, he leaves it and pouts or has an emotional meltdown. It's kinda funny, and a bit of a pain, too, as I have to direct him to drink the drink he just made.
It's not just him, of course. As someone noted earlier, the higher the mixology skill, the more likely a sim is to mix drinks just for the heckuva it...and leave it on the bar. Some of 'em mix drink after drink after drink, never drinking one.
They will autonomously drink the ones I dragged to the fridge, tho usually not the ones they left lying around. They often take a sip or two and put the glass down, though, and never pick it back up again. If I don't catch 'em in the act (harder w/larger HHs), I don't know who's been drinking from what glass. I assume but don't know that this is more likely to spread sim-colds, etc.

2 years later and its still an issue

Yes noticed this while playing without mods this week. When inspired, sims will mix drinks, but then they won't drink them, more often than not (sometimes they do). I only started playing Nov of last year, so it's always been this way for me.

Same here. Worst for me is the globe bar. They just put the drinks down and never drink them. They only drink it sometimes. I've started noticing the same with food. It doesn't happen often but sometimes. They take a plate from the fridge and just put it down.
This is how one table looks after a houseparty..
