How do I get out of drinking on NYE and make it NOT look like pregnancy?

[Mother Goose]

it's going to be too hot to drink. I've been a bit unwell lately and don't want to dehydrate in the heat with the alcohol... so I'm just going to stick to water and soft drink.

if you drink dark spirits, just walk around with a glass of coke and say it's bourbon or whatever..

If you are driving on the 1st, you do NOT drink on the 31st! I won't; alcohol from NYE parties is heavy and will still be there at lunchtime on the 1st, when I want to drive.

Grape juice is a great option. Low alcohol wine/beer is OK. You can have a couple of 0.5% drinks and everyone can think they're full strength, just nurse them. Or go for grape juice. Or lemonade and orange juice.

I'm a drinker and I still love going for non-alcoholic drinks sometimes. Freshly squeezed orange juice is a great alternative because it's what you fancy at the time without screaming "not drinking!". I will often stop, think, then say "actually, do they have a cranberry J2O?", which isn't the same as saying "no alcohol thanks" but instead "I fancy a juice now."

I'd pour my own "grape juice in a wine glass" and nurse (or get your DH to do so), occasionally requesting a juice when others buy the rounds in. Nothing strange about the odd juice drink! Also, no harm in having 1-2 glasses of wine given to you. Give them to hubby after a couple of sips when he has finished his glass. Or just leave it on a table somewhere.

just say you got some girly problems that you are taking meds for. Surely no one will question more!

Or when someone pours you a drink, throw it over your shoulder or a pot plant while they are not looking!

Goodluck tomorrow
