How do I hide that I’m not drinking alcohol at a party?

Question

My best friends birthday is on Saturday and she’s throwing a party. The theme is “disco cowgirl” and everyone is talking about how much they’re going to drink and party, and these girls seriously know how to party. I’m talking shots and shotgunning white claws. I’m even in charge of bringing one of 5 different cocktails. I haven’t told anyone other than my partner that I’m pregnant just because I’ve had so many miscarriages. How do I navigate not drinking at this party without raising suspicions? I feel like I should tell my friend, maybe we can hide nonalcoholic drinks for me and I can pretend? What would you do?

Answer

1. Say you're hungover. 
2. Drink non-alcoholic beer/wine 
3. Sat you're taking medication antibiotics

Answer

My go to is always antibiotics! Some of them have NASTY reactions with alcohol. 
A good one to say you’re taking is Metronidazole. 
It is used to treat things like dental abscesses, bacterial vaginosis, pelvic inflammatory disease. Can’t drink alcohol if you’re taking it!

Answer

I drank a lot of mock tails or put cans in coosies. It was a super stressful aspect of early pregnancy. I hope you find what works for you!

Answer

I’ve been thinking about this! You could always get white claws and like dump them ( I know alcohol abuse) and replace flavored seltzer like bubbly that way your still sipping from the can and it looks like your drinking. Once they all start getting more tipsy they won’t even notice you not chugging. Also, always be the one to go get the shots or the drinks that way you could do shots of water and they won’t know either.

Answer

I used to bar tend and patrons would always want me to drink with them. 
Best trick is, do shots BUT always ask for the a chaser. When everyone takes the shot, you do too… but you spit it back out into the chaser. 
People will never know 😅
Good luck!

Answer

I told friends that I had vertigo and any drinks could make me so dizzy I’d have to leave so I would rather stay and be sober. They seemed to buy it! Good luck.

Answer

I’d tell your friend and plan fake drinks for you. Maybe you could bring a cute cup that matches your outfit that you could put all your drinks in. Maybe make Jell-O shots and have a few that are plain jello for just you and have those any time someone suggests shots.

Answer

Dump out white claws in the bathroom and fill them with water. Make yourself nonalcoholic cocktails

Answer

Blame a medication

Answer

Say you’re not drinking. It’s 100% absolutely no one’s business to push someone to tell why they aren’t drinking. they can pout and push all they want, make speculations etc, but it’s literally none of their business whether you want to drink or not.
