Best excuses for why you're not drinking?
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!
Re: Best excuses for why you're not drinking?
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!

Re: Best excuses for why you're not drinking?
ask for lemon lime and bitters (or whatever soft) in a bubbly glass.

Re: Best excuses for why you're not drinking?

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
Re: Best excuses for why you're not drinking?
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.
Re: Best excuses for why you're not drinking?
I'd say either that you're back on a health kick and doing a detox, or that you're hungover.
Re: Best excuses for why you're not drinking?
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.
