And although I am unaware of any non-alcoholic production in the Diageo company, there probably is something they do besides alcohol even if it is a community oriented project.
What I'm saying is that there IS a way to work with these companies that we are inappropriately calling "bad" to help spread the goals of FIRST: to inspire people to pursue careers in science, engineering, and high technology.

Not a perfect example but working with engineers to build a water purifying facility seems perfectly acceptable even if the water is later to be used in alcoholic drinks.
