Need excuse to skip happy hour :(

Hi all! My husband and I just got a BFP after a few months of trying. I'm four and a half weeks along and not anywhere near ready to tell co-workers!

Unfortunately we're having a corporate evaluation next week and with my position, I'll be in the thick of things... I've already heard people talking about going out for drinks every night all week. Normally, I would go out for a night or two towards the end of the week, have a drink and then go home.

Any advice on how to explain my odd behavior/pass multiple nights in a row?

The best I've come up with is ordering watered down cranberry juice and calling it vodka and cranberry

The whole pregnancy thing is so new, I didn't realize I'd have to be covering it up so soon!

Lol! Just don't order in front of people! Or you can just say you feel like your coming down with a cold and won't be able to make it.

maybe state that you are starting to feel a bit ill and have been taking some cold medicine, and shouldn't mix it with alcohol

you can play DD

or you can ask the bartender to secretly give you sprite and some fruit juice and then drink it all before anyone has the chance to sniff it and find out it's not really alcohol

claim that you ate something earlier that is not agreeing with your stomach now, and you don't want to make it worse with alcohol
