How to Avoid Drinking? *Slight Edit*

Question

So my fiance turns 21 on the 10th, and we planned on having a few drinks with his parents to celebrate. However, I'll be 7 weeks pregnant the day of his birthday and we're not planning on telling anyone until we're well past 12 weeks due to a traumatic missed miscarriage in October. I'm not sure how to hide the fact that I won't be drinking from them. I barely drink to begin with, I usually just have one drink which makes it a little easier, but I just have no idea how to hide it lol. Does anyone have any tips? If it comes down to it, will one drink hurt? I don't even want to
*Edit*
We're drinking at home because of covid and not going out, and there will only be 5 of us total

Answer

If you know you’re pregnant don’t drink at all? Order virgin drinks, no one will know the difference

Answer

Say you are taking antibiotics. That is what I planned to do if the situation was ever needed.  There is one that will make you sick to your stomach if you even have a sip. I think its called metronidazole.

Answer

One drink will hurt, fetal alcohol poisoning is a real thing and develops in the first trimester.

Answer

If you’re going to be home, pour yourself a drink that looks like whatever you would normally drink and just hold it in your hand from time to time. If it’s virgin, you can take sips, if not, you can pretend to sip and no one will know. One time I thought I was pregnant so I didn’t want to drink at a get together. I bought some spiked seltzer’s with a twist off cap, emptied them, poured in regular seltzer and stewed the top back on. I only did it to a couple so that if someone asked for one, I could share and still keep up the act. It worked flawlessly. 😎

Answer

Just say you’re on antibiotics 🙌🏻

Answer

If you’re drinking at home, get sparkling grape juice or the non alcoholic version of whatever you typically would drink, and don’t let anyone see you pour it.

Answer

Say you’re doing “Sober February”! The more casual you make it, the less suspicious they’ll be. I’ve been keeping my pregnancy on the down low and just said we’re trying and I stopped drinking. They’ll respect your choice.

Answer

My baby’s health comes before keeping a secret. If you can’t figure it out to the point you’d rationalize it with “how much can one drink hurt” that’s ridiculously immature. I’d rather tell the secret or cancel on going than take that chance. Ask yourself why you don’t want them to know...I’m guessing because it’s early and you want to make sure baby will be okay...so why risk your baby to keep that secret?!

Answer

You got so drunk last night you’re still feeling nauseous

Answer

I would just say I don’t feel like it. Who cares what people think?
