Good excuse not to drink required!

[excited]

Hi girls

Can any of you help me out?

My in-laws are arriving for a 2 week holiday from Australia tomorrow and we have organised a surprise party for them on Saturday.

All of our family and friends will be there and they are going to be suspicious when I am not drinking as they knew we were TTC. I wont get away with the antibiotics/painkiller excuse because I used that last time I was pregnant (MC) and they put 2 and 2 together then.

I only ever drink lager so I cant pretend Im drinking vodka and coke or anything like that!!!

I just know if people ask I wont be able to lie to their faces

Shandy bass?

You could just make sure you top your drinks up yourself...

Or non alcoholic beer, Becks do non alcoholic beer I think x

 

[mablestarr]

get yourself some non alcoholic beer and have it in a glass - they'll be none the wiser!!

 

[excited]

okay - i will phone the bar we having it at and make sure they have some.

Thanks girls

Get some glass bottles and pre fill them with coke or 7up or something, keep them separate and make it look like your drinking lager

Or say you're doing a post Christmas detox for Jan and Feb?

Tell them your on anti-biotics seems to be working for me

For any wine drinkers try the following with lemonade, tonic or soda water:

White - Elderflower cordial although is normally fizzy
Red - Ribena or vimto (although normally fizzy)
Rose - Cranberry juice

Sangria - Ribena/vimto & orange juice

Any cider drinkers, try non alcoholic Kopperberg

Oooh, I've just been invited to my friends for drinks tomorrow, was going to make an excuse not to go. How come I've not seen this non alcoholic koppaberg!?! My DH runs an off license!!! I need to have words with him! I know becks do a non alcoholic beer and the co-op do non alcoholic wine.

 

[Kezzamunster]

I think it's fab the range of non alcoholic drinks they sell now

The OHs uncle is always drinking Kaliber, non alcoholic lager & comes in a silver can with a blue label. For some reason his tummy reacts severely to the smallest amount of alcohol so can't drink but does enjoy the taste so Kaliber is perfect

I literally just found out this week that I'm prgnant (super excited) and we are away for the weekend with a load of other couples. My excuse is going to be anti biotics for an infection....a urine infection is a good one because it can be sore to sit down but you can't actually see anything on the outside. Just say you were told even a drop of alchohol could make you violetly ill and it's just not worth it

I'll let you know how I get on using this excuse xx

 

[vexcited]

Urine infection seemed to work. I did some research on it and remembered that the antibiotics used to treat itwere tri-something. I think it worked...no one asked me if I was pregnant
