[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are of expected child-bearing age and married, nobody is fooled, it is just a fun charade. Nobody buys the antibiotics thing. Just don't draw attention to it. Order your virgin drink calmly and if pressed, say I really want to make sure I get good quality talking time in tonight! or whatever, as I said [/quote]

I disagree with this.  Maybe it is just my age or the fact that my friends aren't such big partiers anymore, but I don't think anyone thinks twice when someone declines alcohol for any one of the reasons people mentioned.  I have single friends who will get a non-alcoholic drink when we go out for happy hour and I certainly don't assume it is because they are pregnant.  We all have reasons.  I was staying with friends in Europe for the woman's birthday when I was in my first tri last fall and lots of drinks were passed around multiple nights.  I kept a small glass of wine and took a few sips of that and a champagne toast but otherwise just told people I was tired and more wine would make me fall asleep.  They were truly surprised and happy for me when I announced I was pregnant a month later.  [/quote]
