I am by no means a teetotaller, but this is something I hate about Instagram - ‘it’s wine o’clock!’ ‘Yay, gin!’ ‘Espresso martinis with these ones...’ ‘It’s Friday and the kids are driving me mad so I’ve just necked a bottle of Prosecco while cooking the fish fingers!’, etc, etc.
It normalises some quite dysfunctional drinking. It’s not healthy to have a drink every single evening. Even if it’s just one glass - when does your liver ever get a break? And how many bottles does that add up to over a week?
It’s not healthy or normal to start drinking in the late morning when out with your kids.
She’s on a very slippery slope.
