That's because he first appeared in the Super Punch-Out!! arcade as "Vodka Drunkenski". When Nintendo of America was trying to make as many things in video games friendly enough to the young audience during the NES era, they renamed him "Soda Popinski"; however, one of his quotes is a reference to drunk-driving. Although he probably never practiced driving at all, it doesn't make as much sense for him as it does when he is "Vodka Drunkenski". Look at Shun Di from the Virtua Fighter series, he uses the fighting style called Zui Quan (or "Drunken Fist" , which the Sega divisions outside of Japan ignored changing it. Even though Zui Quan is about imitating people that are drunk, it's still associated with drinking alcohol.
