How to cleverly and tactfully refuse others' invitation?

In our daily life, we must have met some invitations that we don't want to go, such as drinking, singing K, climbing mountains and other outdoor sports. I don't like drinking very much, but I can't help it. Some of my friends often invite us to drink together. Sometimes my wife is still angry when she comes back drunk, so I have a series of ingenious ways to refuse.

1. Rejected on the grounds of family members

It's just that my wife is pregnant during this time, which is simply one of the best reasons for my refusal. Whenever there is an invitation that I don't want to go, I will move my wife out and say that her wife is not feeling well recently and wants to go to the hospital. At this time, everyone will say, "Good man, family comes first." Not only does it increase your image in the eyes of friends, but you can also politely refuse others, which is absolutely impossible.

2. Refuse for work reasons

Although this family-based method is always tried and tested, everyone will know it after a long time, but "overtime" is eternal and irresistible. When there is a butcher's situation, we will use overtime as an excuse to show that I really don't have time at present, and my friends will certainly not be embarrassed to let me give up my job to play with myself, will they?

3. Be sincere

Actually, it's really not that difficult to say "no". For gentlemen like us, it seems more difficult to refuse others than to refuse ourselves, but sometimes it may be better to be sincere and directly explain why you don't want to go. Sometimes this way may be more acceptable to friends than those reasons. So there is no need to use too many reasons between friends. The real you may be more acceptable to others.
