Weddings, parties, etc.

JennyBS · July 2009

I am definitely a person who likes to have some drinks at parties, BBQs, weddings etc and it is SO hard to be one of the only sober people at these events! Today I went to a wedding and me and my Dad were the only sober ones amongst my family. I realized how annoying buzzed people are now too. I know it'll get easier but I'm only 6 weeks in!

We're having a large BBQ next weekend with a ton of my husband's family, and these always involve tons of beer, and they find it incredibly funny to tease me about not being able to drink. I may end up "accidentally on purpose" spilling something on them!

The nice thing? Bring your camera and snap pictures of them doing stupid things ONLY drunk people would do.. Then you can be like 'Oh, I may not be able to drink, but at least I WON'T DO THIS!!'

Of course, in a fun way, not in a Devil

way.

I have a confession. Friends threw me a wonderful 30th birthday party and poured me this massive 20 oz apple martini. They have no idea that my hubby and I were trying and succeeded! So when they were in a different room I'd pour a little of the drink out. Within an hr, the drink looked finished and they were offering me another round. LOL They all were so buzzed, they had no clue I wasn't drinking. Haha

I hear you. For me, the not drinking in these situations has been the hardest thing to get used to.

My cousin went to 9 weddings when she was pregnant. 9!! I don't think I could have handled that.

I just got my BFP yesterday, so I'm really early on and we don't want to share our news just yet. But...next weekend we're flying out to CA for a good friend's wedding. It's near wine country, and they picked out all the wine especially for the wedding, and my friends that will be there know that I LOVE wine. I have no idea how I'm going to get around it! I can't easily try to fake it by drinking something that looks like a mixed drink, because they know I'm a beer and wine girl. DH and I talked about it and kind of decided that we'll do our best, but if they figure it out, so be it. Any other suggestions?

I'm one that always has a drink in my hand. Surprisingly it hasn't been hard for me yet. Every once in awhile I day dream about the ice cold taste on my mouth on a hot day.

I've also noticed how just about every song on the radio is about beer/drinking (country mostly).

I totally understand! I was in my friends wedding a few weeks ago and it was a whole 3 day shin-dig with a lot of drinking with her loud, NY based, Italian family. I had a blast, but it was kind of annoying being around everyone and their brother drinking constantly for 3 days straight. Oh well, such is being pregnant

We just got back from a week at an all-inclusive in Cancun---EVERYONE around me was drinking (a little too much if you ask me). Doing without alcohol is not a big deal to me, because I very rarely drink anyway, but I know what you mean. It was a little odd ordering 7-UP all day in the pool, but I kind of got a laugh out of the drunk people around me.

I hardly ever drank before I became pregnant, so it's been really easy for me to hide it with friends and family so far...
