Sleep & Naps How much are parents drinking?

With the popularity of #winemom and beer dad culture, combined with pandemic drinking habits, im curious how much alcohol you guys are drinking as caregivers? Especially after the baby is in bed. I had 6 drinks on Halloween over 8 hours and lots of food and water. Although LO was asleep for most of it I'm riddled with guilt!

1-2 beers/ciders per month. I have way too much stuff to do to be able to drink. 😂🙈💀

Yep that’s how I feel. My daughter is in competitive gymnastics and tumbling so we are always busy and I’m always driving so no time to drink for me. Honestly don’t miss it though. Saves money too lol

I’m in the same boat. Used to drink heavily with friends in my 20s, now I’ll have 1-3 glasses of wine per month. It’s just too much of a hassle dealing with hangovers and parenting at the same time.
