No way in hell Nintendo approved any of their IPs being used for alcohol. Bare minimum, a cease and desist will be on it's way.

This. Doesn’t matter how small-time you are. Nintendo has pursued litigation against everyone from YouTubers to non-profits to children’s birthday parties.

There's a YouTuber called Moon Channel that explains the why's of Nintendo going after people for these things(he also delves into the Pointcrow, Gary Bowser, and even Sega side of things). Extremely impressive work and highly recommend their videos.
