Excuse for not drinking at my hen do?

[19jan11]

Hi,
I'm new to this forum, and currently preggers and getting married in 6 weeks. But Im looking for excuses I can use for not drinking at my hen do. Im 8+4 at the moment, and my hen do is on 2nd July so will be 11+2. I was really looking forward to it, but have now just realised that I need a really got excuse for not drinking
My younger cousins have already said how drunk they plan to get me, or so they think!!
So far I have come up with:
On antibiotics so cant drink,
Speak to bar person and quietly request no vodka in my vodka and OJ.
Only thing is my cousins are BIG drinkers and will probably try to get my shots.

H2B was planning on making an announcement during speeches as I will be 14+3 on the day, and we already have 2 girls and want to hold off as long as possible before telling them. But I have a feeling people may work it out at my hen

I would definitely use the antibiotics excuse, say you had a really bad urine infection and maybe feign symptoms for a few days before haha! You can always say you will make up for it at the wedding to throw them off the scent .....

Use the antibiotics one - say you are on metronizadole which is the one antibiotic you really cant have a drink with! x

Yeah I agree with antibiotics, read up about the one suggested above, see what sort of things it treats and really have a good story leading up to the night. Text people and just make a deal of it saying you really hope you feel better by the hen do otherwise you might have to cancel, day before say you feel ok enough to go but can't risk drinking as you really need to get rid of whatever it is you have for the wedding which is more important!

Good luck!!

i would personally use the antibiotic one, when i lost my baby to ectopic i was given loads of drugs so couldn;t drink anything at all for 6months i just told people was the meds i was on and if i got drunk would do in my liver cause it would so that stopped people bugging me, maybe get your h2b to back you up or something?

Thanks ladies!! I will probably start saying from Monday that I feel a bit ill, as hen night is Friday. Have been looking up different things and some say antibiotics take from 4 days to kick in although you should finish the course. So may just say I got them on Thursday and there is no way of skipping them for a day as I know thats what they will say to do. Anything to get me drunk!!! As I rarely drink anyway, just Xmas and Bday really. Thanks again for your advice xxx

Hi hun yes use the antibiotic excuse and say you have a water infection. I find thats the best excuse as when it comes to announcing your pregnancy you can then back it up by saying the pregnancy was the cause to the water infection since we are more prone to them when pregnant. Just make sure you feign being ill in the days leading up to your hen night. x
