ironic, isn't it?

[straight sam]

So if I've never been drunk or stoned I can't truely be sXe??????

I said it´s a bit easier to understand it, I never told that it´s impossible to understand sXe when you don´t know the feeling of being drunk.

why is it easier?

[Liefde]

It doesn't make you less sXe or anything wether you've done it or not. It just means you were smart enough and didn't do it in the first place.

[stepinsideissue]

why is it easier?

Yeah I'd like to know too.

hmm... if you read my answer to the topic "what made you go sXe", you could understand this. One of the reasons that made ME go straight edge is that I hate the feeling of being drunk and the behaviour of drunken people. And if I wouldn´t have tried it I wouldn´t know that I hate it...I never said you must know the feeling, but maybe for some people it´s easier... dunno if you can understand what I mean, it might sound a bit stupid.

But you don't need to be drunk to see the behaviour of drunk people, and many people can make a choice based on that and that seems pretty easy to me. The choice is as easy or as hard as you make it, if you need to experience things first hand to make the choice i'd say that makes the choice a slight bit harder to come to. I mean its fine if once you drink a beer you clear cut decide that its really not for you but if that way of decision making is employed for all drugs it gets a bit fiddly. Bottom line is everyone arrives at there choices in different ways and what works for you may not work for others so its hard to say what is easier. It worked for you so thats good.

I agree with Ed. I don't need to drink to understand the behavior of people who do or the effects alcohol posses on the body. At the age of 15 I had a friend die in my arms from a heroine overdose while waiting for the ambulance. That there was enough convincing without trying drugs or being stoned to make my decision to live a life style that is sXe.

[straight sam]

ok ok, it made it easier FOR ME

[pittstonjoma]

Being around drunk people is absolutely horrible. How could anyone drink beer? It smells so nasty.

[XshiXnyX]

I used to like the taste. Which is really weird because it tasted like shit....I guess I like to eat shit. so, anyone else like to eat shit?
