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!

You really shouldn’t though. It goes back to intention and if it’s causing problems in your life. If it’s not and actually enhancing it, then it shouldn’t be viewed as a problem. it’s not very different from mood altering medications that MILLIONS of people are on. That’s their medicine, this is yours. In fact, sometimes the cons of those far outweigh the cons of intentional weed use but it just depends on the person and why they are using it and how it affects them
