As you said, Punk wasn't drinking a beer, so how could he have violated his straight-edge policy. You can talk in hypotheticals like "what if he did drink a beer?" but so far that hasn't happened, so I don't know what you're on about.

Also, this will probably be the introduction of CM Punk's "straight-edge" beliefs as part of a storyline, which is something, at the very least. A few people think there is a big CM Punk heel turn coming down the line. I never really agreed, but this could lay down the stones for it, although I think marketing Punk as someone with his own belief system could be a face tool.
