I think it has more to do with an authority figure telling them to do something. I think we'd have to distract them like we do children getting a shot. Instead of a toy beer we could use a talking revolver?

I think we should stop with the toy beer. Next thing you know they'll move on to toy heroin.

They love authority figures telling other people what to do. Freedom is me being free to do what I want and you being free to do what I want.

Instead of a toy beer we could just give them a real beer.
