It's all a matter of personal choice. I don't drink it as I just hate coffee's taste." On 15 Nov 1998 Neal M.

The point is that i think that if a straightXedger uses a legal drug that won't ruin his life, like alchohol and tobacco do, it isn't a violation of the sXe principles. Unlike other legal drugs, caffiene isn't very harmful and isn't as addictive. The same moral issue goes for perscription drugs. Drugs you get from the doctor are perscribed so that they won't hurt you. It would be wrong to take someone else's perscription but since the drug suggested by your doctor is ohkay for you to take it doesn't conflict with your sXe beliefs. I do believe that at the point when you do get addicted to caffiene you should stop but if someone just does it moderately it is allright. That is different with beer and tobacco because people can easily become addicted, stoned or otherwise screwed-up by taking in just a little of these drugs. I havn't heard of anyone getting there life messed up by coffee and if i ever do i will stop drinking it." User Contributions:Top Document: alt.punk.straight-edge sXe FAQ Previous Document: 3-8.
