Trying a sober weekday challenge. I know a lot of people doing this in their normal lives now, just making a point to not drink Sun-Thurs

Also congratulations!!

I showed up early, ordered a non alcoholic beer (can also pass a seltzer with lime off a cocktail) and then said it was a “one drink night” for me because i had to work later. Worked pretty well!

Are you close enough to them where you can just say you’re trying to conceive? Alcohol isn’t great for fertility so you could say you’re avoiding it while trying.

Tell them you’re on an antibiotic (amoxycillin because you just had your gums deep cleaned) and you can’t drink on it. Happened to me last week lol. (Like you could get sick if you drink while on it)

Question about BO:

I’ve only experienced bad BO when I’m stress sweating (presentations, put on the spot, etc.) or on my period. Even if I’m sweating while exercising, I’ve never smelled.

However, more recently I’ve been noticing it’s all the time. I haven’t changed my diet, my job or anything life changing to affect my hormones/health.

Anyone have experience with this?
