This photo series hilariously showcases how people transform after enjoying three glasses of wine. Every parent understands that parenting can feel a bit lighter with a little wine buzz, but often we overlook how that joy radiates on our faces. Wine is affectionately dubbed “mommy’s happy juice” for a reason, and we can’t get enough of this captivating photo series by Lucas Mendes, which illustrates how our appearances evolve after each glass.
Mendes, a photographer from Brazil, created his “3 Glasses In” series based on a popular saying about wine: “the first glass is about the food, the second glass is about love, and the third glass is about mayhem.”
In his studio, Mendes invited friends, poured the wine, and captured their delightful journey to relaxation. The first image in each set was taken as guests arrived, reflecting the stress and fatigue of daily life. Three additional snapshots followed as they sipped and shared stories about their lives.
The results were both entertaining and heartwarming. Each set of photos shows individuals becoming progressively happier and more at ease as the evening unfolded. Mendes notes, “People from all backgrounds—music, art, fashion, and more—gathered for a couple of nights, and by the end of the third glass, smiles appeared and stories flowed.”
The images brilliantly depict how our moods shift when we take a moment to unwind, enjoy a drink, and connect with others. They serve as a vital reminder of the joy that comes from laughter, camaraderie, and relating to one another amid life’s stresses. In our busy lives, it’s easy to lose sight of the importance of friendship and relaxation—sometimes, just carving out time for basic tasks like eating and sleeping can feel overwhelming.
While many jokes about wine revolve around the chaos of motherhood, the truth is that our love for it stems from a deeper need for stress relief and connection. Laughter, understanding friends, and yes, an occasional drink are essential ingredients for our well-being. Although planning a moms’ night out can be tricky, as these photos illustrate, sometimes all we need to feel better is a camera and a few bottles of wine.
