About Paulina Pinsky

my name is Paulina, and i’m an alcoholic and an addict.

meet my drunk alter ego, Barflina:

picture this: blacked out at a college rugby halloween party, dressed as honey boo boo child, face-planted into a cupcake.

Barflina became my nickname after my senior year of high school. every time i drank, i either blacked out or vomited. whether it was booze, weed, or self-sabotage, barflina was the queen of excess, taking everything to the extreme.

but on December 22, 2021, everything changed.
