Never heard of sober October. Here in Finland it's sober January. Which is a good pick since there's very few happenings (holidays, events) happening then. Sober December would be a nightmare.
Sober January probably happens everywhere when people are setting New Year’s resolutions.
Here it's specifically for one month. Let's not go crazy after all.
January seems like a better time plus I guess you always have a New Year's resolution.
My friend is doing damp October in that anything Halloween related doesn't count.
Missed opportunity with Octsober.

Du hast stops playing
Sober October can get fucked. How could I possibly go a spooky season without a few beers and some slasher flicks? Or whiskey night and The Thing. Or, damn, can you imagine a sober night of Rocky Horror? Don't forget a joint and a six pack to go with Beetlejuice. No, I will not be sober this month.
Counterpoint: why do you need to drink to do any of those things?
Same reason you use condiments
Ooooooh, I really like that analogy.
