I started drinking a lot of "vodka and orange" or "vodka and soda".....or lots of "white wine with soda"........always in a tall glass, loads of ice, loads of mixer. Often DH would organise drinks, so he would offer me the vodka and orange" or "vodka and soda".....and then just not bother adding the alcohol, so I would have a long soft drink, but everyone thought I was madly chugging back the vodka! Just be sneaky!

If I had to have wine to avoid the "why aren't you drinking questions (before I was pregnant, I am embarassed to say that I was considered by my friends to be a bit of a lush!).....then I would accept the glass and "pretend" to sip on it......it's amazing how you can con people!

I found it hard in some respects, because of my "reputation", but very easy to resist tempation and not to drink, as I honestly just didn't feel like it.......
