How to hide pregnancy when every one else is drinking??

Question

Hello! So this weekend, I have plans to go to the beach with 10 friends to celebrate my birthday. I will be 6 weeks by then. Obviously I will not be drinking, but all of my friends will most likely be drinking heavily the entire weekend. It’s going to be very noticeable that I’m the only one not!
How do I go about hiding this from them?? I’m not ready for them all to know about the pregnancy since it’s still so early. 
Any tips and tricks that worked for you?? Thanks in advance! :)

Answer

Take a yeti type tumbler and put sparkling water in it. Say it has vodka as well. Once they are all a few drinks in they won’t notice

Answer

You could say you are on medication, many antibiotics you can't drink while taking. And lots of things like infections wouldn't inhibit your ability to party without booze!
I also loved ordering orange/cranberry/7up drinks because they look very boozy, but they aren't! Maybe sneak the server to the side and all everything to be served to you virgin. 
Non alcoholic beers served in a glass are also a good way to get around it, though some people avoid them because they are worried there might be more alcohol content than they say in the outside.

Answer

Just order virgin drinks.

Answer

There are tons of options... 
-you are on antibiotics and can’t drink
-you can take your own “mixers” and make your own drinks if you’re at the pool or someone’s house and just not put the liquor in
-you can buy Heineken 0.0 and drink that (it’s the best non alcoholic beer IMO) and put it in a koozie so people can’t see the label
-if you’re out at a restaurant excuse yourself to the bathroom and grab your waiter. Explain your situation and say you’re going to order “margaritas” or whatever your drink of choice is but need them to be virgins
-if you’re at a bar, order alone and just get soda water with lime and pretend there’s vodka in there
-my local grocery store sells Fre wine; they have a red, white, and sparkling. They’re not the best but they look the part. The sparkling is good mixed with OJ for a “mimosa”
-order a regular, alcoholic drink and sip it very slowly and then push it away and say your stomach is bothering you and it’s not sitting well
I’ve used pretty much all of these methods between my two pregnancies and they’ve usually worked fine. Once people are tipsy themselves, they’re seldomly aware of what other people are doing. You just have to be cautious the first few rounds and then you’re pretty much in the clear.

Answer

I know friends who occasionally give up drinking to lose weight. Often dropping alcohol alone helps them loose a good bit, so maybe just say it's part of a diet? Temporary cleanse even? 
I also like the idea of bringing a thermos with whatever in it, chances are no one will even ask, and if they do you can either lie about what's in your drink, or say you're on a special diet for the time being.

Answer

What is your normal drink of choice? 
Beer? - empty the can or bottle and fill it with water or your drink of choice. This even works in bars, have the bartender empty the bottle into a glass and fill with soda or water. Pay for drink and slide the glass to a patron at the bar. "This one is on my fetus" with a wink.
Mixed drinks, just order the virgin version.

Answer

Empty out a can and put water in it. Keep using the same can. They won't even notice.

Answer

thanks so much for all the responses! y’all gave me great ideas ☺️

Answer

I had to do the same thing at a cook-out.. I normally would have had a couple beers, so I bought the bullet kind with the twist tops and filled a couple with water.😊 No one noticed!

Answer

My family used to be big drinkers. I just brought over a thermos type cup with either water or gingerale or whatever in it. I feel like people make this a much bigger deal than it actually is (myself included) because no one even asked me. And if the people you're hanging around are legit pressuring you and making a big deal, I wouldn't want to be around them at all 🤷
