Not OP, but:
1) Pressuring (as opposed to discussing, persuading) anybody to do anything they’ve really got their mind set against is usually fairly toxic behaviour, especially if there are likely to be distinct downsides to that behaviour. Edge cases might be acceptable but generally it’s toxic.
2) It’s a widespread problem due to the widespread adoption of drinking and/or binge drinking practices in many societal groups.
(I speak as a drinker, who I have to admit has sometimes wondered “what’s wrong with you?” when someone is strictly teetotal.)
