Not easy to "fake" drink a bottle of beer (long)

Last night I went to my mom's house to hang out with my younger sister in town from Spring Break. Well, the whole family decides it's time to play board games and have a few drinks. It would be SO obvious if I didn't drink anything, so I had to come up with a plan quick (DH was at bowling, so I didn't even have a partner in crime!).

I go out to the garage, grab a beer, open it and pour a few ounces into a plastic cup, which I hide in the garage. (Note to self - don't forget to dispose of evidence at some point!)... Then I go inside and figure I'll just pretend to drink the beer & once I have a beer nobody will really notice anything.

So, turns out that when you try to fake drink a bottle of beer, it's practically impossible to keep the foam from sputtering out every time you set the beer back down - it was hilarious. I kept getting foam all over my mouth & chin.  I thought I'd have a chance to discreetly go into the bathroom and pour some more out (or even make a trip to the garage again), but we were playing Cranium and nobody was moving from their seats- epic fail.

Moral of the story - if you're going to 'fake drink' out of a bottle of beer, pour it into a glass first! Or, better yet, find a way to dump it out, rinse the bottle, and put water inside! :)

Lucky for me, the trick did work at least - once I had a bottle of beer in my hands I could feel the curious stares stopping.

    Hee hee...I wish I could have been a fly on the wall to see this evening.  Must of been kinda funny!  Glad you pulled it off though. 

    I am so worried about the time I have to think of my feet.  Something tells me this weekend might throw me some curve balls.

    ETA: I'm really not an idiot..."throw," not "through".

    This is why I think it's easier to fake a medical reason not to drink.  "I went and saw the doctor the other day b/c I sprained my back and he gave me pain killers that I can't mix with alcohol."  Glad it worked out for you in the end though Smile

    So funny!!! I like the putting water in the beer bottle idea, I think I'll use that one this weekend! I had a similar experience at birthday party last weekend. I just found out the day before that I was pregnant, so I had no idea what to do to fake drink.  My husband ordered me a "vodka-tonic" which was actually soda water with lime in it. Except the waitress put it in a water glass that was double the size of everyone else's alcoholic drinks so they asked, "what is that? Why is it so big?" Luckily, I didn't have to answer. Husband said, "Oh, it's a double vodka-tonic, it's much cheaper than getting two separately." Good save babe. 

     I bought non-alcoholic wine for this weekends events, so we shall see how that goes....

    It's so hard to conceal not drinking, especially if you typically would never turn down a beer or wine!
