It’s time to get clear on why alcohol is not a cultural cliché or gimmick we should get behind. Really, it only distracts us from solving the social problems we face. We need to reject it.

“Okay, we have these new bell bottoms with a red tank top, jelly bean leggings, or the purple dress,” I say.

A surge of adrenaline hits me. I want to snap a selfie. A semi-nude selfie.

I love my babies, but they’re NOT my whole world. They don’t make up my whole being.
