Many of us who wasted far too many hours of our youth on self-destructive behaviors can recall one particular instance — an Aha! moment, if you will — that forced us to sit up and take stock of our potentially downward spiralling lives. For Snooki, this wake-up call came in the form of one scary night after the birth of her son Lorenzo when she went out clubbing. The new mom had to take a break from partying to pump, as the “entire front of her dress was soaked” (we’ve all been there, right ladies?). That’s when she got an alarming surprised: “I could smell the sake bombs in the bottle,” she writes in her new book, “Baby Bumps: From Party Girl to Proud Mama, and All the Messy Milestones Along the Way.”
“My milk was so full of alcohol, I could have used it to start a bonfire in the yard. I could have cleaned the toilet with it.”

Yikes. Naturally, her fiancé and Lorenzo’s dad, Jionni LaValle, was less than thrilled to hear about her wild night — the details of which she confessed via text message, though the two were sitting next to each other on the couch at the time. Snooki typed:
“I blacked out last night and made out with Jenni.”
To which Jionni replied:
“You’re a coward and a horrible mother and fiancée … Pack your bags and get out.”
OUCH. That’s when Snooki “quit drinking.” Now, whether she’s given up booze permanently (or even entirely) isn’t clear, but one thing’s for sure: The reality star realized that her family is more important than partying, and that can be a huge motivating factor in staying clean and sober (or at least mostly sober) for lots of people.
Here’s wishing Snooki and her family a healthy, happy, sake bomb-free holiday. Article Link…
