Anyone have any networking tips for avoiding drinking but still being apart of the event?

Yes, I can always not drink but worried my male coworkers will ask if I’m pregnant (I’m not. Just trying to avoid high sugar drinks)

No one will assume you’re pregnant. If you don’t want alcohol get a mocktail, if you don’t want sugar than have alcohol without a sugary mixer. Or just get a soda. No one cares that much about what you’re drinking.

Just get a soda water with a lime and drink it as if it’s a vodka soda or g&t

I don't drink and no one cares that if I just grab a soda. Of course they may tease a bit but they don't push after I tell them I don't drink.

I wouldn't care what they thought - lol. They do have fancy mocktails that they can make for you though. Ask the bartender for something non-sugary but fancy.

Diet Coke.

Have any of you used this while pregnant and it turned out fine? Any other insights that can give me some peace of mind? 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
