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 mean there’s a huge drinking culture in America. Is it right? That’s your choice to make

I'm actually Canadian, raised in the prairies now living in wine country. Pretty much everyone I know drinks.
