That's the title of an upcoming book—Mommies Who Drink: Sex, Drugs, and Other Distant Memories of an Ordinary Mom. It's a memoir, due out this August, by Brett Paesel, an actress (Mr. Show) and writer. Entertainment Weekly said she "writes about the eternal challenge of balancing motherhood, drinking, and having sex." (Indeed.)
Here is a quote from the Amazon book description: Here, in a voice that's as incisive and poignant as the very best women's fiction, she addresses the issues she and her friends face as they brave the new world of motherhood--where the secret question on their minds at the playground is "What time of the day is too early to start drinking?"
And here's an essay she wrote. All you mommies who drink, enjoy!

Hmmm, I think the question is not when is it too early... but how much and how often can I drink without someone calling DCFS on me...
I swear, I glance at the clock all morning, then force myself not to drink. By the evening, I just not as interested. It's rare this craving materializes in alcohol at all. To compensate, I guess I need to institute Bloody Mary time, good all day and nutritious to boot.
Okay, yes, I want to read this book.
Can I have a drink now?
Sounds like the perfect mom to invite over for a "playdate." She'll bring the margarita mix, I'll rent 6 hours worth of Disney.
Did you and Feral Mom plan to have complementary posts today, or are you just on the same high-spirited wavelength?
What Maman said.
I knew it was right to bring this book to my readers' attention. Y'all are lapping it up like amber ale, syrah, mojitos.
I just came over here after spending twenty minutes researching different cane sugar liquors (by our mojito taste tests and by internet acclaim, S Guaro from Costa Rica wins).
As for time of day, well, it depends on the day, doesn't it?
