Marahouti, so sorry to hear about your third set of plans changing. I hope that you enjoy your Christmas visit with him.
I came across this article on Drink Refusal skills while looking for something else and thought it might be of interest to others on here:

So sorry to read this Marahouti but good to know you will be able to see and spend sometime with him. Sadly Christmas is often challenging for anyone with ASD and this whole year must have been so hard for them, families and staff. Very hard to put into place some of the usual strategies when events have changed so quickly.I think you've done very well to have only opened 1 bottle. I have been dreadful in December - 2 AFDs the worst for a long time. Hope to get in a couple more next week but have again reverted to poor habits - roll on dry January and hopefully a better 2021 for everyone.2
