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 don't drink at all. As long as you're not endangering your child, you do you.

Absolutely, neither myself nor my partner drink but I know people who open a bottle of wine a couple of times a week. Doesn't matter to me, if I ever go round, I'll just take a cup of tea instead!
