I have friends that don't drink and don't do drugs. Neither of my adult children do (18 and 20). I think it's great. I don't fathom why question was down voted. I think it's awesome that you you don't succumb to the pressures of society an live your life in a way that makes you happy. Keep kicking ass ❤️

Your question might have been downvoted, because people (including me) read it the wrong way.

I thought, you were saying people shouldn't be proud of being straight edge.

And your reasoning:

I feel like it includes a good amount of intolerance and judgement.

..., I thought, was supposed to say that you think people, who are straight edge, are themselves very intolerant and judgemental.

Words can just be ambiguous, I guess.

Thank you for pointing that out. I appreciate the additional point of view
