I'm a recovered alcoholic who had his last drink three years ago on the 30th of this month, so I understand your problem.

Don't fake illness or make excuses or you'll be doing it forever, tell them the truth as you've already put it, you have two choices either drink soft drinks as has been suggested, you may find this boring after a while, especially when you see your friends getting sillier as the time passes.

The other choice is to find another set of friends as I have done, who share the same thoughts and ideals, you can of course mix the two depending on how close you are to your original friends.

Answer 2

Offer to be the designated driver!
If you give yourself a responsibility over them, not only will you feel less influenced to drink, but they won't want you to either.

If you choose to drink, tell them that since you are the DD, they need to monitor you :) if you don't drink too much, then your problems with your wallet and the morning after will be solved.

Good luck.

Answer 3

you should stop hanging out with those friends. they are not wise and they are fools. find new friends that don't drink and go and do something smart like take a vacation or start a car club. something fun and wise that does not involve drinking. you are hanging out with the wrong crowd and you need to get away from them.

Answer 4

If they're real friends they won't mind at all though they might take the piss a bit. If you don't want to say that you dont like drinking anymore then just explain that your skint and want to save up for something macho like a good car :)

Why don't you suggest to your friends that you go to the movies or something else besides drinking?

That way you're still included and you're all doing something fun, but not wasting money on alcohol
