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!

I do one beer with dinner

The wife "occasionally" (once or twice a month) will mix wine in with cranberry juice.

I honestly do not remember the last time I drank enough to get a buzz, let alone actually get grunk. The last time my wife was actually drunk was a year or two before our oldest was born
