I understand the smoking part...but drinking is so much fun and to dismiss it without even trying it is ignorant.
it's like you're living based on what someone else told you what to do...can't know if ya like something until ya tried it.
lol i NEVER bring up the topic. It would be indeed ignorant if I yelled at you calling you names FOR THE SOLE REASON of drinking...but I don't.

It's not like I've never tasted beer or alcohol. I don't think I ever posted pictures of me "drinking" on this forum.
Either way...I never had a problem with you not doing it lol...

I just don't like the people who do it to be apart of some cult...

yeah you did give your views on drinking, you said the reasons that you're straight edge are because you don't want to"black out" or wake up with a hangover, or even lose control of yourself (so you're expressing what you feel happens when people drink). it would be like me saying when you drive cars real fast you crash and die.. well no that's not true but that's my view point on the act. my question is, have you ever experienced what 2 or 3 beers do to you? because they certainly don't cause any of those things. i feel you're blowing things way out of proportion, for reason unknown (maybe because you're biased and you feel the need to justify your actions?_ if you can't see the difference in getting drunk and being a casual drinker than i'm sorry, but that's fucking sad. you don't need to get drunk everytime you drink, but to dismiss it all (even the ability to have a single beer) is just pathetic in my eyes. and at the end if you just don't want to drink, you don't like it, etc. (like me in my pervious years, i didn't drink until i graduated highschool) then good for you but for christ sakes stop acting like you're so goddamn special.
did you read when i said I have done everything I'm against? I've drank before. I never enjoyed it, so I dont do it. Plenty of my friends drink, I go with them, I just dont drink. I know there's a difference between casual drinking and excessive drinking, I just stay away from it.

How the fuck is "personal choice" bullshit? I dont drink because I dont like the effects, the taste, and the outcome. If thats what you want to do, then fine.

I wouldnt say its a fad, its been around for over 20 years and some people are really passionate about it. I'm not passionate enough to get a fucking straightedge tattoo or anything, but I've seen plenty of them.

People need to learn that people are different.

wouldnt a straight edge tattoo go against the principles of being straight edge? I just dont see the point in having a label, why not just not drink or smoke without labeling yourself as a member of a group?

To support something you believe in?

It's the phrase i hate. i'm not arguing against it's meaning. if you know the difference they do you feel the need to go to the extreme of being 'straightedge' when you know that a few beers won't do any harm.

ok, i think you need to stop the hostility....i know there isnt much harm with a couple of beers....but i dont feel the need to drink at all. its just not for me, i never felt the need to drink after i drank a few times. and if someone offers me a drink at a party, i just say i dont drink. i never say "no thanks, im straightedge" 1. no one gives a shit what i am. 2. i dont feel like explaining to them if they dont know the term.

i never knew people actually used the term "straightedge" I thought it was just for movies to describe loser chess team kids when the douche-bag boyfriend makes fun on the nerd.
