Anyone have a small drink for the new year?

We went to a get together at a friends house and I brought one of the baby bottles of wine and had intended to have a small glass when it got close to midnight. But as the night slipped away, I didn't drink it. I did have a few sips of nasty champagne (IMO was NOT worth drinking more, and definitely not worth being my only drink that night). And my delicious wine remains untouched. Did anyone else indulge in a small drink over the holidays?

I did not, but mostly because DH would have had my head.

Happy New Year though!

I didn't. I wasn't really in the mood for it. I bought myself a bottle of sparkling grape juice at the store and enjoyed that instead.

I had a glass of champagne, which I happen to love.  I'll usually have half a glass of wine with dinner a few nights a week.

I prefer not to drink while pregnant so I had some sparkling juice which was really good. Even when not pregnant I love to toast with sparkling juice since I dislike wine and most champagne.

Hopefully everyone had a great new year's eve. :)

I sipped some champagne for the toast, & lightly taste tested a home-brew IPA that my brother made. But that was the extent of it.

Happy New Year ladies!!

Nope.  I don't think even one sip is worth the risk while pregnant.

I'll be honest, I have a 21 year old daughter who had some developmental delays. Every day of her life I have tried to blame myself in one way or another for those delays. Did the drinks I had before I knew I was pregnant contribute to them? There will never be an answer for me so I'll always live with those questions -- and it is emotional torture.

I just prefer not to live like that should this baby have any challenges, so I choose to abstain from alcohol completely. Nine months without is nothing compared to a lifetime of guilt. That said, I don't expect that everyone would do this to herself. But 21 years of experience has shown me that I would never get past it.

I had a sip of champagne, a glass of sparkling apple juice (which was actually quite tasty), and rounded it out with a second sip of champagne. I didn't feel too deprived. I was very thankful to my dinner guests who brought the sparkling apple juice--it was very thoughtful and I really appreciated them thinking of me that way.

I had a small glass of champagne. I don't know if it was the champagne or the 4.5 hours of sleep, but I feel terrible today!

I had half a bottle of sparkling juice. 

I LOVE wine. But, am too afraid of the risks. I am not sure how I will feel as I become further along in the pregnancy. 

With that being said I did have one sip of a new sparkling wine (like 1/4 of a teaspoon) the other night.

I had one glass of champagne. That's my fourth drink since I've been pregnant... I've had a couple glasses of red wine and a mimosa as well (all in second tri, which is almost over now, so it was pretty spread out).

Ditto the half glass of champagne. Kind of a waste, since it was an expensive bottle, and there weren't enough people to finish it!

Honestly nothing for the New Year, although I did have a small sip of champagne over the holidays in general.

I had some sparkling cider (Yummy!) and I tried to have my half a glass of wine but it gave me such bad heartburn I had to dump it :( No more wine for me this pregnancy, the heartburn was awful!

I had a glass of wine on Saturday night at a holiday party. It was PHENOMENAL.

It's quite sad though. DH had a beer yesterday while we were watching football and the smell of it made me swoon....I asked him to tell me about it. Oh, how I miss beer!
