I just play the im driving card. Legal limit is so low zero tolerance is better. I'd lose my career if I crossed that line and one drink with friends isn't worth it to me.
Just say you don’t drink, and you’re in recovery. It’s pretty common these days to be in recovery.
Honestly you can just say u don’t drink most of the time people won’t even question if it’s because ur in recovery or because you chose just not to drink
I am currently on 21/30 days in a treatment center. My counselor made me laugh the other day when someone asked this same question. He said, “just tell them you’re allergic to alcohol”. I said, what if they have seen you drink before? He said, “tell them you’re on antibiotics”. LOL
I think just saying that you’re taking a break and are feeling so much better without booze that you might just stop completely! It’s honest and anyone who is worth your time will respect your decision completely.
I just tell them the truth which for me is it is bad for my blood pressure. I am pretty sure drinking is bad for everyone so don't sweat it. Just say you're trying to be healthy or get in shape (although from the look of that handstand it looks like you already are in shape). Still you get my drift...
