Parents are weird...
my dad says I have to go on holiday with him in June, no choice. And when there, I have to drink alcohol. Why? Why should I be forced to drink alcohol?
That sounds very strange in that, why should you be mandated to drink spirits(alcohol)? 2nd, if seems as if your father is adamant that your not to remain in your comfort zone..
I think he just desperately wants me to live up to his expectations of who he wants me to be. He wants me to be some manly guy who sits at pubs in the countryside drinking beer. Unfortunately, everything I enjoy in life, I can access from my computer; I'm not a fan of alcohol (there are far better tasting drinks and I'm not a fan of intoxication); and the idea of being stuck in a social situation with family for an amount of time governed by their whims (and completely out of my control) is not my definition of fun.
It'll probably end up being like any other holiday - me spending as much time as possible on my dying laptop wishing I was back with my superior desktop computer where I can actually play games without the damned thing freezing (plus having guaranteed internet).
Of course, (two of) my siblings get a choice on whether they go or not. I mean yes, I've proven I don't have the independence to live alone, but I've also proven countless times I can at least be trusted to be without supervision for a week or two.

Tell him you would rather smoke weed with him lol
But seriously this is not right, you should never force any substance on someone. Rather its drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, or even caffeine , you don't do it. I ask once and I let it go if the person says no. Just as I would like some level of respect in my choice to use substances, I respect those who choose not to. Alcohol is straight up nasty though, I hope for your sake you get a mixed drink.
Tell him to go to hell your an adult, and if your not adult than thats abuse. Call the cops,
I don't think my dad would outright force me to drink, but he'd pressure me like there's no tomorrow. I remember at a wedding party a few years ago, I actually broke down in tears for that very reason.
