Way back in the dim and distant time of being a parent to small children, Terry Pratchett's Discworld films, 'Susan Death' (Soul Music) and 'Witches (Wyrd Sisters) were fairly often viewed.
Nanny Ogg is a witch who lives in Lacre, beside the high Ramtop Mountains in the Discworld. She is the archetypical 'mother' is the Lancre Coven. Nanny is a rare witch, a sociable one, an urban one. She can witch with the best of them, and does, but she can also party with the best of anyone, and does.

At one part in the story, Nanny whips out a hip flask, not from her hip, but from between her amble breasts. A young, impressionable child saw this and took note. A few days later, we were walking up the steep hill into town, and a certain young impressionable child was walking slowly, bent over almost double. A concerned mother asked, 'Are you okay, do we need to go back home?' The answer was a muffled, 'No, I'm fine'. After a little more verbal probing, and a request for the child to stand up straight. As they straightened up, and juice bottle fell out of their clothing. Apparently they have wanted to be 'just like Nanny Ogg', but they didn't have the physical attributes to hold a bottle in place.
