I am going out with my mum's group today, and most of the mums have said they are going to have a glass of bubbly with their meal. I would usually join them, but obviously am not going to now.
I'm still not ready to tell everyone that I'm pregnant (still very early days), so I need a good excuse for why I'm not drinking. I've been stressing about this all night and dreaming about it, and I still haven't come up with a good reason!
You shouldn't have to come up with an excuse..." I don't feel like it" is good enough.
But if you are concerned... My favourite that has worked and has me left alone is. "I can't drink with these antibiotics... "
:) hope that helps
If I have even a glass of wine with nurofen in my system, the effects are so much worse..
So you could've 'taken' nurofen before you left, and can't drink..
On a health kick.
Trying to be good before Christmas.
You made a bet with your partner/friend you couldn't go a month/ through christmas without having a drink
Would they even know you are not drinking...take the glass hold it in your hand... pretend sip... dump!
Id do the same as Ladybirdflies, and then say its giving me a headache ;)
ask for lemon lime and bitters (or whatever soft) in a bubbly glass.
I used the antibiotics one before.
Medications
or
Had to many thing son in last week and had to many drinks allready
or
Need to win a bet that have nothing to drink before Christmas
But in all reality doesn't matter as its none of there business!
You're driving or my personal fave - Hungover. Use that one and they'll never suspect :p
Hungover is good, I used that last week and I'm not even pregnant :lol: just make sure you look tired and crappy though!
Getting over a tummy bug also works.
I'd say either that you're back on a health kick and doing a detox, or that you're hungover.
On the theme of hangover you could say you've got a big one planned that night!
Or order a juice and say you're addicted to pineapple (or whatever) juice at the moment.
Or just get ice water and say you're a bit dehydrated

Thanks everyone!
The sparkly was ordered for everyone before I could really say anything, so I just left it sitting there for ages. Eventually, someone asked about it and I said I'd opened a bottle of wine last night, so was feeling a bit off wine today lol. Hopefully everyone bought it ;)
theres always one of our friends who is detoxing/clean eating/paleo, so thats always my excuse.:
