About this episode

Matt and Sheri discuss the negative impacts of intoxication on family dynamics during summer.

Overstaying at the party, making grandiose plans, saying stupid stuff, passing out in public, missing all the social cues: Sheri and Matt talk about his behavior in his intoxicated summers, and how it impacted her and their kids.
