How come all the Vegans I know drink booze like a fish, smoke 2 packs/day, and drink coffee until they float?!
!.!.!.and yet they're the first to lecture me about all the toxins I take in by being an omnivore!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Maybe 'cause you're hanging out with a rough crowd!.
I almost never drink, have never smoked, and I don't like coffee!.
But I do like my vegan chocolate and other vegan junk foods!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I drink a 6 oz glass of red wine a night (suppose to be good for me)!. Will drink a beer after spending several hours outside in the yard doing my yardwork!.
Not even close to smoking 2 packs a day!. One pack a day is really pressing it for me - and that is on a really stress filled day!. Quiting in a slow steps to keep me from setting off breathing problems!. You would think just to quit would be the best - but for me - sets off breathing problems!. I am now down to 10 a day!.
As to coffee - I do decaf!. Do drink hot tea in the evenings!.
To add to your list - I live a celebate lifestyle - by choice!. Don't stay up all night to party, get drunk, any sort of drugs other than nicotine and the trace amounts of caffine in decaf!. Edit to this: I do take two med's that the doctor ordered and that I haven't yet be able to figure a way off of - yet!.
If I am floating - it is on water - in a pool - - though I do indeed drink a least one liter of water a day!.
It isn't as if I couldn't do all these things if I wanted to - the offers that I have gotten over the last months is proof of that - I just make the choice not to!.
But then I also am not making any claims to any title - but I can if and when I want to!. I do eat what many call a 'strict vegetarian diet' - but I am not rabid about it and sure wouldn't shove my choices on anyone else!.
My suggestion would be to change the circle of people that you have around you!. They sound on the flaky side!. Not all vegetarians/vegans are like that!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i smoke ciggs and get drunk every weekend and drink coffee every mornin when im at work BUT i also am a animal lover!! i love animals and what is going on in the slaughter houses is horriable and i cant stand it and thats why im becoming a vegetarian!! and im 21 by the wayWww@FoodAQ@Com
LOL!.!.!.you hang out with an interesting gang of vegans!. I have found that diet and social comsumption of drugs and drink do mix with vegans at times, but not all vegans, naturally!. I worked for a juice bar /cafe/ coffee shop in which most of the food we created was vegan but the staff and owners par-tayd like no others!. Personally, I don't drink much and rarely use tobacco but I love coffee (and know it's not that good for me) and I don't lecture anybody, they will learn by example what they want to learn from me if they are going to learn anything at all ;-)Www@FoodAQ@Com
I'm vegan and I do not drink any alcoholic beverages, I don' t consume coffee at all and I have never smoked cigarettes!
Generalizing and labeling people is very closed-minded!. BTW, you might want to check out what all the hormones they put in beef and chicken and see what that is doing to your body before you pass judgment on others!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

How many people are we talking about here!? How many vegans do you know!? Since we make up like !.9% of the total U!.S!. population, unless you live in Portland, I doubt you know very many!.
I do not smoke cigarettes (or pot) or drink coffee!. I drink vegan alcohol in moderation!.
You sound a little defensive!. Maybe you feel guilty about your silent complicity in all of that animal suffering!?
p!.s!. fish don't drink booze!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The is an overgeneralization, because many of the vegans that I know are nothing like that!. However, maybe this is their idea of vice, and since they have ruled out that from animal products (i!.e!. Chocolate, hamburgers, most junk food), they need a way to make up for that!. I, for one am a vegetarian and do none of that!Www@FoodAQ@Com
well, im veg, and I dont smoke, rarely drink but I do like my coffee!. but what is wrong with a cup of coffee (w/ silk creamer and raw sugar) in the morning!? its not like I drink 2 pots a day!. There are way way WAY more toxins in ordinary processed food than any cup of coffee would muster!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
Well at least you're not generalising, because you haven't said all, or even most, vegans do this, just the ones you know - and I bet that isn't many!.
Ask them why they do it!. You know them, we don't; we can't tell you!.

I cant really explain that, but that defeats the purpose of being on a vegan diet!.
I know many people that do that though!. I guess they figure it is not from an animal so it is ok!.

Because those things have nothing to do with veganism!?
I dunno about you, but I'm not a vegan for health reasons!. Bring on the booze and coffee, please!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Uhm!.!. all the vegans I know (and I know ALOT) do not smoke or drink (at all) or drink coffee (at all)!.

Guess you're narrow experience with veganism isn't representative of vegans as a whole!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Offhand I'd say it's because you only know a miniscule fraction of the vegan population!.!.!. the rest of us can't answer for your acquaintances!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
