Thanks for sharing this interview Manjot, it really spoke to me.

Drinking is so normalised, at weddings, family get together and just to wind down - particularly in Punjabi culture. So many of us rarely stop to question it. Particularly with the whole ‘mommy wine culture’ layered on top, where alcohol becomes this coping mechanism we’re all meant to laugh off.

I love how honest Taneet is about naming that, and asking why we do what we do.

Thank you for your kind words. I'm so grateful to Taneet for her vulnerability and for shedding light on this topic. I think we need to talk more about this and the harm that it does when our children watch us drink as a coping mechanism.
