Ideas on why not drinking at friends dinner?

Question

Anyone have any ideas on a reasonable excuse? I normally have a glass of wine with dinner. Going out this weekend with friends. 
I know some people say medicine, but what medicine would actually make sense? I don’t want to say antibiotics. Any other ideas?????

Answer

If you are going to a restaurant you can ask privately if they have alcohol free wine and get that instead. Speak to your  waiter privately. I've done this in the past with beer and no one suspected a thing

Answer

Designated driver is what I usually go with.

Answer

I’ve just been using the generic ‘I really haven’t been feeling well lately with a headache and my stomach has been off’ and everyone has seemed to just accept that, even though I’m usually always up for a wine!

Answer

I would say I’m driving, or ask for virgin drink order at bar. I used to get lemonade and tea saying it was a Long Island lol. When I quit drinking

Answer

I'm just wondering why its necessary to have an excuse? Cant you just say you dont feel up to drinks tonight and leave it at that?

Answer

Ive told friends I had a sinus infection and UTI and on antibiotics. Some antibiotics with ANY alcohol gives an Antabuse effect soo easy clear there

Answer

Why not say antibiotics? That's what I did. No one asked any further questions. I'm actually on an antibiotic right now too that the pharmacist specifically said absolutely no alcohol while taking it

Answer

Anything-you have a headache, you have a stomachache-just whine about how terrible you feel and they’ll believe you :)

Answer

My husband’s birthday was 2 days ago and we went to have dinner with my parents and I just said Since it was his birthday he could drink and I will be driving. 
Maybe antihistamines... say you had an allergy and took one a fee hours ago.
