The story so far…
Way back in 2017 my friend Heidi decided she was going sober for October to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support. In a higly on-brand flash of oppositional defiance I thought it would be funny to post a picture of myself having a different drink every day to her facebook profile. For “moral support”, y’know?
It didn’t take long (3 days to be exact) for me to decide it was more fun if I dressed up to match the theme of the drink, and by the 31st Drinkowe’en was born. This nonsense caught on with a small but loyal group of fans and Drinktober became an annual tradition of increasingly elaborate costume creations.
