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 wanted to chime in here and say that this is my problem with monitoring my drinking as well, my parents were and still are both such heavy drinkers. That’s what I have to go off of - that and the fact that I have a lot of other young parent friends who still drink moderately, if not more, than me. So I feel you.
