Thank you so much for sharing that article. I raised my kids going to those happy hour playdates. I remember being absolutely shocked when 20/20 did a piece on how alarming this growing phenomenon was for American society. I remember being surprised that this was considered "bad," because socially it seemed so much the norm. Now I just think, yuck!

OMG!!! I hid booze in the washing machine and honestly thought I was the only one who had ever done such a bizarre thing I thought I had been plagiarised for a minute. Crazy init? Great article, thanks x

Yep, I did the wine in the sippy cup thing.

Not one of my proudest moments.
