I admit it was hard in the beginning. I had one friend who would not drop it. She kept putting drinks in front of me and telling me...you can have just one...drink light beer...yadda yadda....she was relentless! I just told her I quit...I'm not drinking anymore. She was a little disrespectful about it. I hardly see her now. You will find out who your true friends are and who your drinking buddies only are.

You can also say your watching your calories, on antibiotics, trying to be more healthy, etc....
