Here are ten ways to make your Sober October surprisingly fun, refreshingly practical, and maybe even a little life-changing.

Find your “main character” mocktail
Forget the sad glass of soda water — you deserve better!

Stock your fridge like you’re hosting a VIP party — starring you, your fancy glass, and zero regrets.
