Why is this condition, in a set theoretic version, reasonable:

s ⊆ U

You can try yourself. When you do the non-set theoretic version,
like below with predicate U(_) for the pun and predicate Drinker(_)
for the drinkers. Then you can prove:

ALL(x):U(x) => /* U is the universe */
ALL(x):[Drinker(x) => U(x)]

Or symbolically using ⊆ between predicates:

ALL(x):U(x) => /* U is the universe */
Drinker ⊆ U

So we have again s ⊆ U respectively Drinker ⊆ U. Why was
this swept under the rug, when you create your generalized drinker.
Is this part of the generalization, sweeping stuff under the rug?

BTW: Here is a DC Proof proof:
