Not to speak for the researchers, but I'm guessing that's not a problem. There is no single tradition anyway. If the aim was to study the effects in the context of a particular tradition (as was the case in the UdV study in Brazil), they'd mention it.
When you drink solo, it's still a ceremony, no matter how simple or how elaborate your ritual is.
