Mommies Who Drink: Sex, Drugs, and Other Distant Memories of an Ordinary Mom

Mommies Who Drink: Sex, Drugs, and Other Distant Memories of an Ordinary Mom by Brett Paesel is a funny, honest, and sharply observed memoir about motherhood, friendship, identity, and the messy realities of parenting. With a voice that is both laugh-out-loud and heartfelt, Paesel writes about the shift from carefree nights out to pregnancies, sleeplessness, babysitters, playgroups, and the everyday chaos of raising children.

Instead of pretending motherhood is always sweet and perfect, Paesel captures its ecstatic, terrifying, tedious, hilarious, sticky, and deeply human sides. Her friendships with other moms offer support, sarcasm, and the occasional Friday happy hour, where real conversations happen over drinks instead of playground small talk.

A great choice for readers who enjoy humorous memoirs, modern motherhood stories, women’s nonfiction, and candid books about parenting.
