His mother has been defending him.
Former One Direction star Niall Horan's faced a backlash from Alcohol Action Ireland, for promoting Guinness in his new documentary.
The singer-songwriter's The Road to Mullingar with Lewis Capaldi doc, followed the two on a journey from Belfast to Westmeath during the summer.
Horan's mother Maura has responded to the criticism that he was promoting pints, claiming he was actually drinking Guinness Zero-Zero.
The documentary aired on Virgin Media over the weekend, and features the two playing at this year's Fleadh Cheoil.
CEO of Alcohol Action Ireland Sheila Gilheany says it's a sly way of targeting the product at young people:
