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.

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

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.
