Fake drink?
So tomorrow I *should* be 6 weeks. I’m a little nervous about the next few weekends and getting through the holidays without people noticing me not drinking. Next weekend for opening weekend my husband and all the guys in his family go up north hunting for the weekend and all the girls go out and do a girls weekend. I’m not sure how to go without drinking? I’ll be just over 7 weeks but we’re not ready to spill the beans yet. We already spent last weekend with his family and I obviously didn’t drink then either. I’m not sure what to do? I’m also not sure what to do for thanksgiving and the date I have planned with all my girlfriends in the beginning of December for WINE night!? ? I live in Wisconsin and as bad as it sounds we casually drink almost everyday so I feel like not drinking is a dead giveaway for me. Especially since my bff is pregnant right now too and everybody noticed she stopped drinking and they have been hounding her for weeks asking if she is pregnant. Sorry for the long post, just not sure what to do!

That's a tough decision. You could fake it. If you go to bars just get virgin drinks without them knowing. But all that sounds like a lot of work. Honestly when we had friends over and I was 6weeks I just told them I was pregnant. Lol, I'm not good at keeping up with a lie like that. Whatever you do I hope it works out! :)

I’m in the same boat. I’m going to make cranberry club soda and tell people there’s vodka in there and that I’m trying to save on calories since I normally drink wine. Good luck!!!!!

I use the excuse of “I’m on an antibiotic right now and can’t have alcohol mixed in”.

Not being able to drink ended up being the reason we made our announcement.

I had to hide it at a few work gathering. I would just grab a Can of beer. No one can see how much is left.

We bought the recloseable aluminum bud light cans and my hubs drank the beer and I refilled them with water. I also just carried around an empty beer can at a party once. Got water with lime at a bar and said it was a gin and tonic. You can always say you're not drinking bc you're too hungover from previous night of drinking ? good luck!

Every time I️ went out I️ had “fake drinks” had my friend pour me fake shots and make me non alcoholic Jell-O shots etc

I would just say you're doing a body cleanse and that's just the first step

Fake it! You can tell the bartender and ask to tell waitress as well, all drinks ordered are virgin and the reason. It's easy. My friends would catch on to ANY excuse if I avoided drinking!

Being from Wisconsin and not drinking is a DEAD giveaway, I too am a Wisconsinite and feel your pain. I usually drink Malibu and club soda so I just got water with a lime and that was that! Talk to the bar tender, waitress, whoever and they’ll work with ya! Also for thanksgiving just carry around a soda in a glass and lie about the “alcohol” in it ? if your friends and family are anything like mine they’ll be too snockered up to think too much into it, get through the first round and it’ll be smooth sailing ? Good luck!!

I had a friend that emptied a beer out and put water in it. No one noticed

Tell them you haven't been feeling well, so you were prescribed an antibiotic that you cannot mix with alcohol while you are taking it :) Buy a little pill case and put some breath mints or tic tacs in there, pop one every once and a while in front of them to make it extra believable lol.
