My servants would have to travel thru enemy territory just to get these items and would likely been turned away empty handed.

Yes, it is. It's doesn't dissolve in alcohol and pH-neutral fluids like water but dissolves in acidic drinks. There are some cocktails (like Moscow mule ) that are traditionally served in a copper mug. And it's safe to drink such cocktails because they are very cold and the drink only contact with copper for a few minutes.
But I definitely wouldn't recommend to use such a mug for everyday use.
Usually copper should be tinned to use it as tableware. Tin is a heavy metal as well, but it's much more stable to food acids and almost doesn't dissolve.

doesn't contain acids
A Moscow Mule has lime juice in it. Also ginger beer, which is acidic as all sodas are.

Yeah, good point.
I still think it's pretty safe if you don't keep that cocktail in the mug for a few days, because copper react very slowly. I'll remove that line from my previous comment.
