You called it a vice. I was simply clarifying that liking a product doesn't make it a crutch for survival.

And I have no idea what you reference in terms of "pot calling the kettle black".

You seem to think that "straight edge" means no drugs, of any variety, ever. But, that's not exactly how it works. You offer a guy morphine when you take out a bullet, he's going to accept.

The people that function under the "straight edge" flag refuse the intake of substances that the general public looks at as potentially harmful. Not soda-pop. Sure, you'll have your vegans in analogy to the straight edge vegetarian, but they're not so common and even less popular.

And for the record, I find straight edgers to be blind followers of an invisible leader; I'm not defending the practice or the pride. But trying to rip on the guy for drinking Pepsi as a resort to calling him a fraud is a little ridiculous.
