For mostly the same reason, you don't ask children "do your friends drink vodka?".

It didn't reach this level of specificity, but I remember similar questions on an allegedly anonymous survey passed around when I was in middle school (age 11 or 12, don't remember which). Along with a number of questions about sex and illegal drug use.

That was about when the War on Drugs and related moral panics were peaking, though.
