Teen parenting chronicles #2 - Please beer with me

I think I accidentally found a way to safely dissuade children from trying beer or alcohol when they are too young or in college.

I sometimes stock that 0% alcohol malt beers (original flavour) at home as a non-sweet alternative to those sugary soft drinks/carton juices.

On a hot day, after an outing or playing, I opened a can for myself. Naturally, the boys were super-curious and I gladly offered them a gulp, saying it's awesome and smooth-tasting. You should have seen their faces when they took the first sip and are horrified by the bitter-sour yellow fluid and yelled out 
"How can anybody drink this stuff!?!? Yuck!!" and refuse to have a second sip despite more of my 'Sharing is Caring' offers.

This shock treatment should (hopefully) last for a decade's worth of abstinence!
