Don’t feel like fielding questions about why you’re not drinking? Ask the bartender for a seltzer water with a lime wedge at your next social event. This combo is carb-free, looks just like a cocktail, and will thwart any prying questions about why you’re choosing not to drink (or pressure to accept alcohol). Of course, you can openly explain that you prefer not to drink, but sometimes it’s just simpler to hold a drink in your hand that you can safely sip and avoid any questioning altogether. It can also curb the temptation for a high-carb beverage and keep you hydrated as you mingle.
