Many bring food into the parks in their backpacks.

Adult Beverages and glass are not allowed.

Kettle One goes in a stainless steel water bottle; not in its original bottle.

So the same rules as Disney has

Same rules as Disney. No alcohol, etc. Other than that you’re fine.

I usually bring a water bottle to the parks, how do they know it's not filled with vodka?

I remember when we couldn't bring in anything. I think the "medical need" challenges arouse and they changed their policy. While I know folks bring in more now (while we do at Disney we opt to not rock that boat at Universal) they do have a more restricted policy on paper. I'd be ready for anything at security.

Have had no problems bringing in bottles/cans of soda. If in a bag, security tends to ask to see the can (presumably to confirm it's not alcohol). Incidentally, cans of soda just barely fit upright into the ride lockers.
