People need to start exercising their rights and stand up to blind-sighted policies like this.
If you get to the door with a bottle of your own water that you do not want to pour away, ask what the alternatives are. If you're not happy with an offer to refill it inside (their tapwater from a warm jug off the bar isn't a fair exchange imo) they say they'll refuse you entry. At this point ask to be escorted to the Box Office for a refund on your ticket. Do this before they refuse you access. Explain that you are not happy with their defamation of your character and assumption that your bottle is full of decanted alcohol and for that reason want a refund. As soon as they start having to refund tickets to people because of this egregious policy they'll soon backtrack and revise the rules.
For as long as people continue to pussy foot along and pander to the stalinist rules of the elite they'll continue to flex their muscles.
All it takes in an attempt to stop performance interruptions, is a overly confident new-starter keen to make an impression to suggest that all phones need to be submitted to management at the door to secure entry and they'll go 'well, punters are pouring their own drinks away to get in currently, lets give this a go'.
Though I dare say people are outraged enough to vocally respond about it, but not enough to inconvenience themselves by getting to the theatre and then revising their plans and missing out on a performance in protest.
