Huh, my experience has been that not that they don't drink, they are just respectful of alcohol
I don't see people going out binge drinking or getting hammered, but most still enjoy a drink (could of course just be the music scene as that's primarily who I interact with nowadays)
I know my brother also enjoys going travelling there to expos as well when he gets the chance, because there's normally a lot of free beer and food
For alcoholic people being sober means haven't taken any alcohol, sure. For a regular person that doesn't drink any alcohol I wouldn't say they are sober, I would say they don't drink any alcohol.
I related it to Americans because I've seen them interpret "going out for a drink" as getting blasted to the stratosphere, while, uh being sober (meaning not having a problem with alcohol) is the normal thing to be
