ELI5: Why is raw egg white okay to drink in fancy cocktails but considered dangerous when eating raw cookie dough?

People always freak out about eating raw cookie dough for fear of salmonella due to the raw eggs.

Yet raw egg whites have been a common ingredient in fancy cocktails for ages and its never been questioned or regarded as dangerous.

What gives?

They put that on cookie dough containers so that those companies aren't liable if you get sick. But, in general, raw egg is pretty safe in moderation. The uncooked flour in the dough is probably more dangerous than the egg.

I make ice cream using raw egg all the time. Mayonnaise is also made with raw egg, if you make it at home.
