I'm just at a party and some bruiser comes up and says something along the lines of, "You too good to drink with the rest of us, what the fuck?" or "I don't trust a man who doesn't drink."
Hey man, I'm a drinker and a smoker, and I dabbled in drugs years ago, but if I'm at a party and somebody starts giving my staight edge buddy a hard time for NOT drinking, I'm the bruiser that stands behind the straight edge. Why give somebody crap for a choice they make when it comes to lifestyle choices? You treat me with respect, no matter what group you associate with, I'll be respectful in kind.
