For some reason, you have to make an alibi. Willingly or unwillingly, you have to make that alibi believable. Here are some suggestions on how.
Your Mom unexpectedly called you and she’s coming over your apartment. At that moment, you were drinking with your new classmates.
A die-hard Christian, your Mom would kill you if she knew you were drinking. Intoxicated and startled, the best way is to avoid getting caught is just to turn off your cellphone.

First of all, nobody wants to be a chronic liar. Once you started lying on trivial things, you would surely make it a habit lying even unnecessarily. It’s like a disease that traps an unwilling liar. We should not lie as much as possible but due to unprecedented circumstances, we have to lie.
When telling a “credible lie”, you must loosen up. How do you do that? Simple- just believe that you will never get caught.

Then, heave a deep sigh and say, “Okay… this is the truth. I don’t know if this is the right way to say this but…”
And there you go! It takes a cunning liar to make up a believable alibi.
