It's pretty easy to differentiate between a product-placement and director's penchant to portray certain things. How? Well, did you see a real-life booze product or logo on-screen? If yes, it's product placement/advertisement. If no, it's just the director's preference.

An example of blatant product placement in anime is Pizza Hut in Code Geass.

As far as I know, Gundam 00 never directly shows a well-known brand of alcohol, so it's definitely not product placement.

And I don't think it lasts either, it's just there to show that Sumeragi is a character that drinks a lot early in the show.

Ah I see. It's just the director's "thing". Happy to hear Sumeragi stops drinking later. I'm worried about her liver.

I think she still drinks, just that we don't see it that often on screen.
