Tips for hiding that you aren't drinking?!

Question

Going to a wedding next weekend and need to hide that I'm not drinking! I figured I would get a glass of wine, carry it around, pretend to sip, casually put it down and perhaps get another glass so I'm seen by the bar.....any other ideas? Anyone ever hidden this really well before?!

Answer

Soda water with a lime. They'll think it's vodka/soda. That's what I'll be doing today as well!

Answer

I had a work event this week. First drink was a beer (brown bottle) pretended to take sips, went to the bathroom, poured most of it out and then pretended to finish it and left it on the table. Second was a glass of wine. Pretend sips for a while and then left it on a table. Someone actually asked me if I was ok to drive to I guess it worked lol

Answer

I agree, fake it or tell people your on antibiotics. I was at my in laws and told them I was on something for an ear infection.  Lucky I chose something I had experience with, who knew my MIL would have SO many questions about ear infections!

Answer

My friend and I were discussing this last night because I have a wedding coming up too. in the past she had been a wingman for her friend who was preggers at a wedding. She would buy all her drinks but only put soda or juice in them, and if her friend was given a drink, she would take it for her secretly  (she was hammered). I'm gonna try this with my husband.

Answer

I just had to deal with this. Found out Thursday and family came in town Friday for a football tailgate, golf and Oktoberfest at a local brewery. My husband and I used the same koozie so we could swap his empty beer for my full one with no one noticing.

Answer

that sounds like a good plan! I'm horrible at this. I went to a baby shower yesterday and there's always mimosas with this group of friends.... I was outed in 30 seconds!!!  😂😂 (most already knew we were trying)

Answer

Pretend ur on antibiotics and can't drink with them x

Answer

I'm in a similar boat with a wedding this weekend.  My husband has a friend that will IMMEDIATELY out me if he notices I'm not drinking.  I'm not really a big drinker anyway and have always made a point to go without drinking on occasion specifically for this situation... I'm not convinced it's going to work... I've decided that if he says something I will pull him aside and tell him the truth, that it's still early, has yet to be confirmed by a doctor, and our families don't know yet, so keep your mouth shut!  Lol.  I'm sure he'll get the hint.  His wedding is coming up next month, so even if we make it through this one, we will definitely be outed at the next.

Answer

Ahhh thanks for the advice everyone!!! I didn't even think to do mixed drinks to fake it! So I think I'll start with a "cocktail" and then "wine" with dinner!!!!

Answer

You can say you're taking a medication that can't be combined with alcohol like some antibiotics.
