I really was a moderate if not sometimes binge drinker, but it felt like a moderate drinker because by today's cultural standards, binge drinking feels so normalized. It's a rite of passage in college. And as long as I could moderate it most days, I could binge every once in a while and it'd be fine. But then I became a mom. And what I quickly realized is not only was binge drinking extremely hard, very dangerous, and unsustainable as a mother with two little kids that you just can't, I mean, parenting with a hangover is perhaps the most impossible thing I've ever tried to do.
