My son has said that he doesn't care.
My husband drinks as usual around him. I usually don't drink when he's , but have had an occasional glass of wine with a meal. His sisters (22 and 24) usually choose not to drink when with him.
I expect that my relatives will drink as usual around him.
I have typically made a special pie that included vanilla and grand marnier in the whipped cream for it - last year I sweetened it with maple syrup instead. Nobody noticed it was "alcohol free" or specially for him, so it was no big deal.
Awh fair play thats brilliant that you're thinking of him in that way. He may care deep down. He may just be feeling guilty n not want to stop others from drinking because of him. There again he may genuinely not be bother. I don't know him but the way you thought of him is lovely as it was prob really hard to give to give it up. You seem like a really good n caring mam.
Take care x
