is having a problem with drink normal now?

[tryhard]

I aks because I think I do have a problem...for over a year drinking has been a serious issue, I've just admitted it to my family & while we were talking out solutions, I realised how socially accpetable it is for moms to drink. There's so many blogs and FB posts about gin and wine-o'clock, but nothing about what happens if you can leave it at that. Talking to family about why I drink, I can see there's a real culture around moms using drink to relax, which is fine if it's in control, but is actually really difficult if drink is hard to manage. I just wondered what others thought?

I think she meant as new thing that it's acceptable for mums to drink at home to unwind.

This popped up in my newsfeed which I thought was pretty timely. I noticed the other dots often involve drinking st Xmas, which I'm finding hard because I don't want to drink st events because I already drink too much at home.
