Becoming a Parent

NEWS FLASH: Becoming a parent changes your life! Who knew?


The day you or your partner finds out they are pregnant - everything changes!


And it might just change your attitude towards drinking too...for better and for worse!


In Vic and Hamish - you have two people who took opposite paths.


(Oh, and in case you hadn't figured it out yet - you also get the opinion of a Mum and a Dad!)


In today's episode you will hear how becoming a parent affected both of their drinking and they will share some tips on how to maintain your sobriety during this rollercoaster period of your life.


You know that no parenting situation is made easier by having a drink but for many of us it is not as simple as that. Just look at the effects of Mummy drinking culture (and Dads are certainly not any better!).


NEWS FLASH (AGAIN!): Being hungover and having a baby screaming and pooing on you is pretty rubbish.
