they all point fingers at you and say: "you're not an Anarchist!"

there is a long history of links between anarchists and (is it still 
called that:) tee-totallers. And i don't like that.

Very scary indeed for a (ex?)alcoholics like myself: it seems this is 
not my mouvement.

Is banning drugs and alcohol the sign of a new kind of 
anarcho-lifestylism dictating how to be an Anarchist ?

PS. Sorry for my non-drinking companions on this list, but after 
being clean for over 12 years, i take up the occasional beer or 
(preferably) white wine again since 1/1/2000 : it was a promise i 
made myself when i stopped drinking that on the eve of the new 
millenium --or one year earlier-- i would drink a glass of champagne. 
I try to keep it down to maximum one glass a day (and two or three 
when there's a party).
If somebody will dictating my drinking habits it will be myself
