For the lushes

I'm just trying to read posts since I've been out all morning, and now I think DS is waking up, BUT I did have an idea for an excuse to not be drinking...

Obviously, there are a ton of reasons why you might not want to drink, but I went to a party specifically for drinking (a 3 Sheets party) when I was about 6 weeks pregnant with DS, so I brought myself a bottle of cranberry juice and another kind of juice, and mixed myself diluted juice drinks all night.  I told anyone who asked that I had a UTI and that shut them up pretty quickly, because nobody wants to know that... So I guess it would only work if you're comfortable enough to tell people something that personal...

Anyway, I know nobody asked for the advice, so just feel free to ignore it if you want!

I like that excuse. Pretty funny...

I've been telling people I can't drink because I've taken Benadryl for my allergies and don't want to mix it. People have been pretty good about not asking follow-up questions. I'm a lush too and knew my friends would figure it out quickly, but they haven't caught on!

I tried the fake drink but my cousins still figured it out. They are sworn to secrecy until we are ready to tell. I may have to try the UTI excuse next weekend

That would work for me!

Really funny. I threw a bridal shower tonight and told everyone I could drink beer b/c I have a UTI. They said so what, booze anyway. I told them I drank last night and got really sick so I would only have vodka + cranberry. Just drank plain cran juice. Worked perfectly.
