ductape_n_roses answered Sunday January 7 2007, 1:48 pm: Okay, I'm sXe and it stands for straight edge. It's a movement started by Minor Threat and the general idea of it is to not drink, smoke, and do drugs. Having a family that is alcoholic pretty much sucks and it's great that he won't let himself get caught in the family and screw up by becoming an alcoholic. It's probably a sensative area to him to see someone he likes developing a chance of becoming an alcoholic. Maybe he thinks that he may lose someone he likes to alcohol.
If I were you, I'd apologize and tell him that you don't want to be like his family and become alcoholic. Tell him you didn't know much about sXe and didn't think much of it when you took that sip. Just reassure him that you're really sorry and that you will never drink again. [ ductape_n_roses's advice column | Ask ductape_n_roses A Question ]
Sabine answered Sunday January 7 2007, 12:52 am: Yeah. I had to look up sXe on Wikipedia. For all who don't know:
Straight Edge (sXe, xXx, or "Edge") refers to a lifestyle, a personal commitment, a philosophy, and a subculture that is closely associated with hardcore punk music. Straight edgers abstain from recreational drugs, including tobacco and alcohol. Some followers of the straight-edge philosophy also abstain from promiscuous sex, the regular use of painkillers, and the intake of caffeine. Some also practice vegetarianism or veganism.
My advice to you is this: if you are going to make a lifetime commitment to abstain from sex, drugs, alcohol, whatever, it's going to have to be because it's important to YOU, not to your boyfriend. Otherwise you are setting both yourself and your boyfriend up for disappointment. Are you of legal drinking age? Are you able to be responsible? If you don't see anything wrong with exercising your right to choose to use alcohol responsibly, you and your boyfriend may have different standards. Your relationship may not work out if you're always giving up things you want to do because they're against HIS code of conduct. You may not always be able to live up to his expectations. Find someone who will accept you for who you are and not try to mold you to fit his values.
grayrainbow answered Sunday January 7 2007, 12:42 am: well are you a legal drinking age? if not mabie thats why he was offended cause he was scared for you (comeing from his family drinking problems) mabie he just would hate to see you ending up like some of his family at such a young age. i know its sorta dematic of him but put your self in his shoes! i think you should tell him that you know why he acted that way cause he was caught off gaurd mabie he didnt expect it from you cause he knows that you know about how he feel towards it, talk to him about how you feel toward achohal problems too and that you werent going to get yourself carried away and that you didnt mean no harm.
