There are various reasons why people choose to be straight edge. Often the lifestyle is used as a 'stepping stone' to allow one to be more positively involved with one's own mental and physical health. For some, straight edge involves refraining from casual sex. Rather than promoting strict abstinence, many straight edge persons believe in sex within caring relationships rather than random one-night stands. This plays directly in part with their abstinence from alcohol, excessive use of which can lead to one-night stands. Many straight edge individuals do not abstain from the drug caffeine (not believing or being knowledgable that caffeine IS indeed a drug) contained in soda or other refreshments, and/or choose to be vegetarian or vegan. "Old-school" straight edgers are more likely to abstain from caffeine; "New-school" straight edgers are more likely to be vegetarian or vegan.
