For some, this extends to refraining from engaging in promiscuous sex, to following a vegetarian or vegan diet, and to not using caffeine or prescription drugs. The term straight edge was adopted from the 1981 song “Straight Edge” by the hardcore punk band Minor Threat.
Caffeine can disrupt your sleep up to six hours after consuming it, leading to an hour or more lost in rest, one study found. So if you want to start winding down and going to bed at 9 p.m., drinking coffee after 3 p.m. is a bad idea. Some health experts recommend people stop drinking coffee as early as 2 p.m.
Basically, the effects of drinking alcohol and caffeine together shouldn’t be greater than the sum of the two combined. But if you’re drinking enough alcohol or caffeine to already experience ill effects on your heart, adding the other can just make it worse.
MACKAYE: I’ve never had a real taste for coffee. EISENBERG: No? MACKAYE: No, never.
For some, it is still an intrinsic part of the hardcore punk scene; for many other people, straight edge is a philosophy that exists beyond the music. It can mean abstaining from alcohol, drugs, casual sex, animal products, tobacco, or even caffeine, without ever listening to a punk song or going to a show.
No drinking, no drugs, no smoking, no casual sex – these are the primary tenets of the straight edge subculture. In general, it’s centered around abstinence as a means of rebellion.
Pediatricians suggest children under the age of 12 years should not eat or drink any caffeine-containing foods or drinks. For children older than twelve, caffeine intake should fall between a maximum of 85-100 milligrams (mg) per day. That’s the equivalent of about two 12 oz cans of soda or one 8 oz cup of coffee.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that kids under the age of 12 consume no caffeine on a given day.
Though adults can safely consume up to 400 mg of caffeine per day, according to the Mayo Clinic, kids and teens age 12-18 should limit their intake to 100 mg per day. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that children younger than 12 should not consume caffeine at all.
Many types of alcohol go great with coffee, and dark spirits like whiskey, rum, and brandy are among the best choices. Amaretto, butterscotch schnapps, Irish cream, and several other liqueurs are excellent as well, sweetening the coffee while adding delicious flavors.
While the recommended amount of caffeine for adults is 400 milligrams per day—about 4 cups of your average cup of coffee—“caffeine intoxication” may occur if you consume more than this amount. This usually won’t take effect until a person has consumed 1,000 milligrams of caffeine, and most likely in one sitting.
With their song “Straight Edge,” they became synonymous with a punk subculture that abstained from using drugs, alcohol and tobacco.
Ian MacKaye & Henry Rollins
As told in Rollins’ tour diary Get in the Van, MacKaye even went on tour in Europe with Black Flag, and the two remain close to this day.
One of the primary reasons people enjoy drinking alcohol or doing drugs is that they get to temporarily escape from their current reality. But that was exactly why MacKaye did not want to use. “One reason that I never got involved with any drugs and didn’t drink is that I just want to be here.
