Any good techniques for hiding non-drinking??

Question

So my husbands family lives near us and they are partiers and I'm usually right there with them.. But since getting my BFP, I'm not sure how to get by without them noticing and we are not ready to tell everyone just yet.. Any ideas that have worked for y'all?

Answer

I just did this at a party! Get a drink when nobody is around and put it in a red cup and always carry it so when they offer you a drink just say you have one

Answer

Tell them you have to be DD that night, say you'll have one drink, carry around fake mix drink but at least they won't be hounding you to do shots knowing your driving. And then maybe they'll all be so buzzed to even realize your not part taking

Answer

Yeah I do the water in the beer bottle thing too, not because I'm pregnant, but because I don't like getting drunk at parties. Seems to work just fine. :)

Answer

A virgin mimosa is also a good one! I think someone already said that.

Pretty much a virgin mixed anything is good. You can rub a little bit of the alcohol on the outside of the cup for the odor if they're really nosey!

Answer

Fake it.  Take fake sips and dump it in the sink when no one's looking.  If your pouring just do Juice or soda and fake pour.  If you laugh and have fun no one will notice.

Now,  if your at a restaurant and everyone can hear you order,  I have no suggestions.  Maybe you can write a note and slip it to the waiter explaining that you don't want them to know your pregnant and make your drink a Virgin one.  Or get your own drink from the bar.

Good luck.  If they are all drinking and partying they prob won't even notice. Congrats on your bfp!

Answer

I just told everyone I have a nutrient deficiency and my doctors put me on a supplement. Alcohol decreases your ability to absorb it, so I'm not allowed to drink until my levels are normal again.

The best part about it is that it's mostly true!

Answer

I have the same problem. I brought non alcoholic beer to a NYE party last night and drank that. I kept refilling the beer bottle with water too, and nobody seemed to notice. It depends on the crowd really, if they are interested in what you're drinking, you'll probably be called out, if they are not interested you could get by.

Answer

I would show up with juice and champagne or liquor , and just pour juice. Or, say you had way too much yesterday and need a break.

Answer

I've said i'm dehydrated or that i'm on antibiotics....not sure how much longer that will work lol

Answer

A dark beer bottle filled with water (or any drink you like) was how I hid it!!!
