Straight edge

From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.

Straight Edge (Often called sXe) is a lifestyle without drugs, tobacco, illegal sex, or alcohol.

It is usually represented by three X's (XXX).

  1. No drug use - This includes caffeine which is a stimulant drug. Some will accept drugs such as codeine or morphine for medical reasons.
  2. No alcohol - Some will not use Ny-Quil or Day-Quil because they contain alcohol.
  3. No casual or illegal sex - This means that you won't have one-night stands and that you will wait until you are in a committed relationship to have sex.

People have associated sXe as gang affiliation, but it is a way of life such as being a vegetarian. It is a way of life where you are not poisoning your body which is a healthy lifestyle.
