I don't mind the straightedge lifestyle (heck, it works for the seventh day adventists), its the wishing death upon people who don't follow it that doesn't sit right with me. I try, as a general rule, not to wish death on anyone.

And just to keep my good name clean, I've not been seriously drunk in a very long time. I do like to have a beer with meals, and sometimes three or four beers or mixed drinks with friends, but 'smashing drunk' or 'falling over drunk' or 'puking drunk' isn't something I do these days. Last time I rode my bike 'drunk', I had probably had 3 or 4 drinks over a course of an evening. I wasn't comfortable driving a car, but I had no trouble riding. I've never had to wobble down a street bumping into every parked car.

peace,
sam
