Since requires a fixed point in time; "have" here doesn't tell you that, "You have had five cans of beer since you sat down/ you came here/ you started drinking " - the point when the person sat down is that fixed point in time that "since" demands here. Another example - A thing has been happening ever "since" something happened. One more- It's been three years since the time I last met you.
