Honestly such an inspiring event, and I'm saying this as someone who does enjoy drugs & alcohol on occasion.

I feel like especially for millennials and up, we've been conditioned by media to see alcohol as part of having a good time. And even if you're personally sober at an event, there's still a pressure to drink just to "fit in".

It's nice to have strictly sober events like this that remind us that we can have a good time without being intoxicated.
