Haven't told my boyfriend I'm on Sertraline- should I?

I've been on it now 2 months for anxiety, there is some improvement and still hoping for more. I haven't told anyone I'm on it. When I go out with my boyfriend I'd only have 2 drinks and only maybe once a month. Last weekend I had 2 drinks for the first time since taking it. The next day I felt ok but 2 days later felt nauseous like I'd done when I started it initially.

I really don't want to tell him I'm on it but thinking now I shouldn't drink on it at all but how do I explain not drinking when out?

No one has to drink alcohol nor should they have to make an excuse as to why they are not drinking it.

If you want a soft drink then you shouldn’t have to explain your choice.

As for telling it not telling your boyfriend about you taking a medication for anxiety are you worried he would ridicule you?

No, he wouldn't ridicule me. I'm just a bit embarrassed to tell him, don't really see any reason beyond the not drinking to tell him. He's not aware of my anxiety.
