Before she quit two years ago, Celeste Yvonne, 40, found that alcohol was a big part of playdates and mom friendships, and her world was awash in “mommy needs wine” memes. “Seeing how everyone referenced alcohol as a prerequisite for parenting reinforced my own habits and made me feel less concerned with drinking sometimes three or four glasses of wine a night. I honestly believed that’s what everyone else was doing,” Yvonne, a mother of two, tells InStyle.

No one has chosen this pandemic. No one is grateful for it, and certainly no one expected it. But it is happening, regardless of how we feel about it.
