Mum drinking at pick up

After school pick up at 3.15pm a lot of us take our kids to the local park. The kids play on the playground and we sit under benches by the trees. I chat to the mums that are there and have done for a couple of years but I am not close to any of them. Today one mum was chatting to me and she reeked of booze. She told me that she had filled her water bottle with white wine and laughed saying it was the only way to get through the day. She then continued to drink the wine. Her kids are under 10. Should I say or do something or is this ok?
AIBU: leave it she deserves to unwind
YABU: drinking like that with kids is not ok

I think you should let the school know. They may have other concerns about the children.

It’s not ok, I would worry about what sort of home life those kids have if mum is under the influence at school pick up. Poor kids.
Just not acceptable. I would report in this situation.
