I went to a women-only, sober rave and I think it might be time to give up booze for good

A woman stands at the door, dressed head-to-toe in sparkles, covered in rainbow face paint, and gestures for me to step into a warehouse. “Are you ready to rave?”

I manage an unconvincing “sure” and a half smile before looking down at my all-black ensemble and wondering whether my minimalist attire was ill-judged. Thankfully, I’m told to leave all inhibitions at the door, because we’re about to dance the night away.

This isn't any ordinary club night though, this is ‘self love rave’ hosted by Caroline Kelf, aka DJ Flourish, and it’s all about making women feel empowered and confident. And it just so happens to be booze-free.
