Oh, to be a child again.

Well, I think what you do is, I mean, because if you raise it, I think you can use this as a teachable moment.

where you say to the son, actually, this is good.

If you do not want to have a drink, because as he gets older and he's going to university, if you just want to have a drink, you know, you have to be able to articulate it and just go, actually, I don't fancy it.

Thanks.

You know, don't bother buying me a pint.

I don't want one.

I have a Coke.

Yeah, this isn't a treat.

You're not being the cool parents by buying me this pint.

I don't want it.

And I'm not not drinking because my parents don't want me to drink.

I'm not particularly interested.

And I think, you know, that would be a very mature thing for him to do.

And also just add, my mother thinks you're a stupid bitch.

But he's in a weird, I think you're in a weird situation.

If you're a kid and you're with your parents' friends and they're friends,

kind of saying, go on, drink it, drink it, drink it.

I think these people need to empower their son to say, no, you have every right in a social setting to say, I don't particularly want to drink that.

But I feel like these middle-aged people are going chug, chug, chug, chug.
