Excuses....anyone got any good ones?

[poppy]

I am going away to visit friends Friday through to Monday. The thing is, as I am in the 2 ww, I don't want to drink alcohol - just in case, you know the thing (probably I will get back on Monday night after abstaining all weekend and will get my AF, sod's law and all that).

Anyway, if I am not drinking, what do I tell my friends. I don't want to tell anyone that me and DH are ttc, don't want to be plagued with questions and pressure, you know. Now one of my friends is three months pregnant and she has gone into baby overdrive (very sweet) and because me and another friend got married around the same time, she is now looking for 'symptoms' of us being pregnant.

So, what excuse do I give for not drinking without getting lots of questions in return?

Could say you are on Antibiotics (make up some condition).

Or you can order drinks that look like they might have alcohol in them....Just ask for them Virgin and no one will know...

Pissed friend: "so, what are the antibiotics for?"
You: "ermm..."
Everyone: "OMG, you liar, are you pregnant!??!"

erm...antibiotics is always a good one....chest infection, ingrowing toe nail (PMSL) infected bite...back of a chest infection...?

could you be driving or driving the following day?

you're just not in the mood for drinking cause you've had a headache all day?
