Do something else with your best mate, rather than staying in. Go to the cinema, then out for a meal (or vice versa) - if you drive, you have a VERY good excuse not to drink! Going to the cinema is good because you are not in a place for drinking. Then if you go back to the house later and haven't yet eaten, you will be more likely to ward off the wine because your ritual is normally to get squiffy before food, but this time you won't have.
Change the routine at any rate, because behaving as in your normal routine makes you more likely to cave. Stay strong!

Change your routine for that night!
Don't get together at your house. Either stay home alone and watch a movie or go out, maybe to the theatre or cinema...
Do not give in. It is only a 7 day diet, only 1 dry Friday night. You'll feel very successful and proud of yourself if you manage to be a good girl until next Tuesday.
Best of luck!

Can you change the wine night to another friends house and you drive over so not drinking?
Or make some fruit cocktails.
Your friends will understand if you don't want to drink.

lets face it , your 7 day diet is going to sweet little for you except give you 7 days of being hungry and maybe shave 500grams off your bum that will be straight back on there with your first chiken tika wrap, so err, I say get hammered tonight, forget about 7 day diets and in the morning plan your self a long term lifestyle change that will bring you to your desired wieght over time.

if it's only a 7 day diet can't you cancel your wine night?
if she's a good friend she'll understand... and if she was she wouldn't make you drink.
get her to support you

Only you can decide that. Why not just have a few (2 or 3 glasses) of wine. It is not exactly going to make you put 2 stone on in weight is it.

tell her to come round with no alcohol, make some alcohol free cocktails together this could be fun, if shes your friend, she will respect your wishes, have some willpower, and just remember why your doing this in the first place
