Might having a brewery sponsoring a FIRST team inspire them to act more responsibly with regard to the teenagers who inevitably illegally consume their product?

It seems to me that a balance is desirable between maintaining and protecting the image and public perception of FIRST (or an individual team) and potentially impacting a company's image or policies through contact with FIRST.
