Theorectically, having a beard should refrain one from doing certain acts such as going clubbing, going to the cinema etc etc simply because when one chooses to have a beard, society seems to categorise them as someone who is pious; hence one who follows the Islamic teachings closely, for logic says if one can get the not so important details, such as having a beard correct, then that same person must have the important details correct; but of course this is not always true. Simply because for some people having a beard and dressing sunnah is just a means of 'looking' the part, i.e. having the Islamic identity.
What all Muslims need to keep in mind, is that we are all representing Islam. if we are to dress the part and act in an un-islamic way out in public; behaviour that annoys others around us, some of which are Non-Muslims with no or very little knowledge of Islam; then there is a chance of those Non-Muslims categorising Islam and all Muslims based on that person's behaviour, hence giving Islam a bad name. Not everyone will judge Islam based on its teaching (i.e. the Qur'an and Sunnah), but some will base it on what they see other Muslims do and say.  
Just in the same way, the hijab is something that makes it obvious to Non-Muslim's that this female is Muslim, and therefore is representing Islam. If this girl wearing hijab was to have very bad characteristics (e.g. swearing, pushing, being loud), there is a chance that the Non-Muslims will think that this is what Islam teaches; when in reality it is not.
