Let's break down the "people like [person]" premise a little - people like the character a person played in a constructed role. Then they think they know the person.

Your bottle of alcohol analogy is not good. It's more like you pay for a bottle of water with a Grey Goose label freshly stuck on and everyone pretends it's alcohol and pretends you can't see the glue on the label is fresh. People understand getting drunk.

Some people buy cheap stuff with expensive labels. I don't find that healthy for society.
