A pilot in "commuter uniform" stands out like a sore thumb to us crew, but the public hasn't got the faintest clue. Just another dude with slacks and a white shirt.
Possession of a stickered-up flight bag might give it away to the observant few, but most are still oblivious I think. I doubt the public cares at all if an off-duty, out-of-uniform pilot has a beer.
That said I put on a civilian shirt if I want have a drink, although I usually just wait till I get home to my neighborhood watering hole.
