Long standing corporate knowledge. They just don't care if nonrevs drink.
If you're in the cabin, you're a nonrev. They don't care if the basis for your nonrev status is a reciprocal JS agreement. Half the airlines I jump on these days don't even issue me cockpit paperwork if there's a seat in the back, I just get a boarding pass with a seat number. Some don't even want you checking in with the crew, to minimize delays/distractions.
But the host airline may have specific policies, so I wouldn't go there unless the CA offers (or not, if you prefer).
