Straight Edge People Share Why They Chose Their Incredibly Strict Lifestyle
Straight edge is not for everybody, but for some it is the only way to live. The term "straight edge" refers to a hard line lifestyle choice to abstain from most any form of intoxicant such as alcohol, any types of recreational drugs, and any mind-altering prescription drugs. Extreme purveyors of straight edge even go so far as to eliminate caffeine, casual intercourse, and animal products from their lives. The straight edge movement spawned out of a primarily leftist punk rock music scene in the 1980s and remains prevalent in society today. Why a person would choose this lifestyle is a mystery we sought out to unveil. The following 20 people share their reasons why they chose straight edge over everything.
