6. You have a couple of ways you might handle it.

One is to simply say, "I'm sorry, I won't be able to go" with no other explanation.

Another is to be honest about your sobriety and why you would be uncomfortable going.

Another is to lie and say you always get seasick on a boat, but that's probably not a very good choice.

In any case, do what works for you and explain as much or as little as you wish.
