Say wha?

Straightedge. It's a lifestyle choice that originated in the hardcore punk scene in the US in the early 80's based around self-discipline. There are countless different variants on it but for me it's like a five-stage thing.

1) No cigarettes
2) No alcohol
3) No drugs
4) No stimulants (this part can be kinda vague to different people but for me it includes caffeine, over the counter medication and any kinda vitamin tablets or whatever.)
5) No promiscuous sex (some straightedgers don't have sex at all. I think that's retarded.)

I should point out that 90% of straightedgers (also called sXe) are shaven-headed muppets who hold semi-formed political ideas as well. I've never met another straightedge person that I like (and there was a girl in college ) and generally move to distance myself from the whole movement. I just like the self-discipline of it.

I'd say this includes football.

You'll have to give it up

Nah, it's ok, I support a First Division team. If we ever get promoted it might be a whole different kettle of fish though!

So will you take a perscription medicine? Don't really see the difference between a benylin cough bottle over the counter, and a perscription only one.

Each to their own...

Well I haven't since I was about 14 and back then my mother had rather more control over my medical intake. Haven't been to a doctor since I was 16 either (24 next month) so I suppose the answer is no, I don't take prescription medication either.
