    hi there,
    we actually went away with close friends when we were very newly pregnant and not ready to tell... We knew they'd figure if I didn't have a wine with dinner. So, our plan?
    I had the wine, but during the night my husband and I would swap glasses. DH would just casually take over my glass at some point. No one ever noticed!
    Surprisingly simple, but it worked. It even worked at numerous family dinners too!
    Hope this helps!

    another thought... you could tell them you're having a 'detox' week.
    It's something else the healthy freaks advise too!

    Well, I'm a big believer in thinking that alcohol helps you to conceive so I'm no help sorry! As far as I am aware, a pregnancy achieved during the TWW is not affected by alcohol so I wouldn't worry about having a small amount during TWW until you find out if you are pregnant or not. It would certainly save months of excuses......

    Explicit detail about bodily functions usually deters any further questions.

    Something like, 'I had a big night last Thursday and haven't stopped coating the bowl with (insert graphic detail here) since so water for me' usually shuts most people up.

    and the best part is, when they forget and ask again after 2 or 3 more rounds, you can simply point down and say 'Ttthhhhrrraaarrtt' and they nod and get you water.
