I don't think there would be a problem. Look at how many of the drunk girls galleries show drunk girls with budweisers or some other brand.

What about if you were wearing a victorias secret panty set, does that mean Victoria' secret can sue you. The answer is no, it is not copyright violation because you are not copying, nor reproducing the copyrighted material. You are however, wearing it & there are no laws that I know of that prohibit this.
Guilt by association and casting a bad light on a product.
Just see how far someone would get if they used a name brand product like Coke in a commercial program and it showed people puking every time they drank it (without cokes consent of course)
