Mommy Wine Culture Exposed: Breaking the Cycle & Redefining Moderation in Motherhood

Writer: Erica MalleryErica Mallery

The latest episode of ShameOver is here, and we’re tackling a topic that hits close to home—moderation, motherhood, and the deeply ingrained “mommy wine culture.” 🍷➡️🚫




Let’s be real—society has made it way too easy for moms to turn to alcohol as a go-to coping mechanism. From the “wine-o-clock” jokes to the endless memes about surviving motherhood with a drink in hand, it’s no surprise that so many women find themselves caught in a cycle of overindulgence. But what if there was a better way?

In this episode, I share my own experiences—from high school parties to mom-life stressors—and unpack the power of breaking generational patterns when it comes to drinking. Because here’s the thing: our kids are watching. And the way we model our relationship with alcohol today shapes how they’ll approach it in the future.


🎙️ What You’ll Learn:


✅ The truth behind mommy wine culture and how it normalizes excessive drinking

✅ Why moderation is key—and how to ditch the all-or-nothing mindset

✅ How societal judgment around drinking can keep moms stuck in shame

✅ My go-to strategies for mindful drinking, including:

🔹 The 90-second rule – pause before pouring that next drink

🔹 Emotional trigger awareness – identify what’s really driving your urge to drink

🔹 The PS List – alternative stress relievers that actually work


This is NOT about giving up alcohol completely. It’s about taking back control, setting healthier boundaries, and redefining what self-care actually looks like. 🚀
