What does it mean to be sober

I have been sober from alcohol since April of last year. I was an alcoholic for 10 years. I have been sober and have not or do not plan to have a drink.

I come across people that I have met in AA or other meetings that say they are sober but have a social drink once in a while. What do you all think? Is this good?
