Are you a lawyer? If not, you should consider that profession.
Come on, that glass is a beer glass. That's a well known fact, and that's what the artist intended the glass to look like.
In any case it _symbolizes_ a beer glass, even though it may look like orange juice on your monitor.
To illustrate how differently people see on symbols and things, and how important they can be: why not put this symbol in the boot logo?

If someone is offended by it, we could always say it pictures an Elbonian windmill.
Think about it.
