  You can do a search on this, but common responses to not drinking are

  -"I think I'm getting sick" or "I'm just getting over a bug"

  -"I'm on antibiotics and I'm not supposed to drink with them"

  -Most of my friends know that I deal with acid reflux so I've just been saying my reflux is bad and I don't want to aggravate it.  Then I "fake sip" DH's drink.

  -Depending upon the situation, sometimes you can get a fake cocktail (sprite with a lime on the rim, or something) to pretend you're drinking.  Or you can get a beer bottle and dump it and fill it with water.

  
  

  In terms of food, not sure.  You could always say "oh last week I had some bad X, I think I got sick from it, so I'm not sure I can stomach it right now".

  Thanks! The hardest has been when my MIL gives me something to try. I've googled some stuff too. I like the felt weird last time I ate this and the fill beer bottle with water! Smart!

  If the food being offered isn't super healthy, you could always say that you're doing a healthy eating program. This could work with alcohol too as you could say you don't want the extra calories.

  This is a little unrelated, but I spent the weekend with my SIL, but haven't told anyone except one friend I'm pregnant. We took our kiddos to the zoo yesterday. I was getting nervous about how nauseous I was feeling, so called friend. She recommended I just blame the nausea on the zoo food!
