Sorry... but either the data is wrong, or there is some real extravagance (or complete fiscal irresponsibility) going on there. If the data is correct, I don't see how it can be any other way.
I know at my last ALPA job they spent more on alcohol than they did food at these meetings. I don't have a problem with people drinking, but I do have a problem with them spending more for alcohol than food using our dues money. I think they should pay for food and beverages out of their own pocket then get re-imbursed the IRS meals and entertainment rate for the city they are in.
