Sneaky 'drinking' tonight...?!

[RoseNoir]

Well, I have always been quite the party girl and all my mates know Im (was) a bit of a drinker on a Sat night out. However am now 4+4 pg and very conscious of what I put in my body. I really DON'T want them to know just yet (plus have just started a new job this week, and my new bosses sister will be out in our group!!!) Argh!

So need to be 'seen' as drinking/drunk, lol. Im not completely against drinking a glass of wine whilst pg, but would stop at one and a half... So, what is the best thing to drink low alcohol wise?! Or any tips to make my delicious evil drink last longer, or look like it?!

Ta ladies x

White wine spritzer? Do you drink beer? if so shandy is an option

my Dad used to order a G&T when someone was getting the first round in and then he would insist on getting the second round in when he would just order a lemonade - then all night he would sneak off and get his own drink topped up with lemonade so when other people were getting a round he would just say he was alright.

I used that one myself a few times - works quite well and the drunker your friends get the less they'll notice you not drinking.

Oh virgin cocktails are good too cause you can spend ages drinking them and it's lots of lovely fruit for your digestive system too!

Good luck and enjoy your night!

Sorry, but your only option is to say you're on meds and/or have a health problem that means you can't drink for a while, but they won't believe you and will jump to conclusions straight away. If they're used to seeing you drink a lot, they'll think it's weird if you just have 1.

Or volunteer to drive and they'll be so pleased they won't bother wondering why?

You've made me feel very old. You posted at 21:55 and you haven't gone out yet!

Congratulations!

Brilliant idea about virgin cocktails! And shandy... and spritzer.. lol!
Yeah sorry create have only just put the rollers in too, lol
would volunteer to drive, but that would be waaaay to obvious as I NEVER do that.

Cheers ladies, right, where's the uncomfortable stilettos and skinny jeans I can barely fit in...?!

I was out with friends a couple of weeks ago when I'd just found out and suggested we get bottles of wine. Then I made sure it was always me topping our wine glasses up. I drank half a glass, everyone else drank the rest. They didn't appear to notice I was not topping mine up.

cant you do a kitty, and you can go to the bar each time, and order something that looks alcoholic, but isnt?
PS 1.5 glasses of wine is about 4.5 units, which is quite a lot - just something to think about (I'm not judging, it's just in case you didnt know how many units you were actually having)

Be careful with spritzers (and shandies) though - quite often bars will make a spritzer in a hi-ball glass with a whole glass worth of wine. And if it's a strong wine, that can be 1.5 units right there.
