Straight edge refers to a lifestyle and scene that started within the hardcore punk subculture whose adherents abstain from alcohol, tobacco smoking, and other recreational drug use. There is considerable debate over what constitutes a straight edge lifestyle, and some adherents may also abstain from caffeine, psychiatric medication and promiscuity, or follow a vegetarian or vegan diet. The term was coined by the 1980s hardcore band Minor Threat. Source: Wikipedia. So technically even if he doesn't follow the promiscuity part, it isn't a 100% nailed on trait of straight edge. Oh and by the way, it's a Pepsi can. Ian Curtis said no sex, and he kind of invented it.

Even if it was a beer can...was it open and was he drinking it?
He could have just been holding it or whatever.
I'm not gonna stress it...he's still Straight Edge in my book.

I had my history final today. And I've been incredibly stressed about it, because I'm seriously hoping to get an A in this course. But this thread's given me a good laugh and made me feel a lot better. Thanks a bunch. Did you drink Pepsi or Miller Lite after? This is a burning issue!

I swear if this thread does not die I'm e-mailing my state senator and letting him know. Yes, Bill Nelson will destroy this train wreck.

There. He's holding a Pepsi. Debate over. Unless it's some kind of crazy ALCOHOL INFESTED PEPSI. I've had Pepsi that was crazy alcohol infested. Surprisingly most whiskeys/whiskys/bourbons don't alter the color of Pepsi.

Also is it considered straight edge if you choose not to be promiscuous or you just can't get any like me? Now if you excuse me I just made myself sad.

End of story. And please don't put up any more beer cans since it could be seen as advertising And how is a Pepsi can not considered advertising?

Theres something else that people fail to mention. Pepsi has caffeine. Caffeine is a drug. Therefore techincally Pepsi has a drug in it.

Ian Curtis said no sex, and he kind of invented it. Ian Curtis, the lead singer of Joy Division, smoked, enjoyed a pint, smoked hash/pot, and had a mistress alongside his wife, whom he had a daughter with. You have the wrong Ian, and even if you'd said Ian MacKaye, you'd still be at least half wrong. And lildude, your use of evidence, logic, and reason are completely wasted on the internet.

Just for the record, and I might need everybody to actually red this BEFORE they post, just for something different, the original poster conveniently left the last two lines out of the article, and EVERY PERSON debating this was too freakin' lazy to click the link that someone else provided TO the complete article:
There have been several reports from fans claiming that CM Punk was seen drinking a Miller Lite beer at the conclusion of Monday’s RAW. This of course would go against his straight edge gimmick/lifestyle. As it turns out the ECW Champion was actually drinking a Pepsi. William Regal was shown drinking a Coca Cola while Bob Backlund was drinking a bottle of water.
Also, I'm not entirely sure why anyone's arguing over the visual proof that he's holding a Pepsi can. It's not a matter of opinion; Miller Lite cans do not have Pepsi logos on them.
As it has been said IN THIS VERY THREAD, Pepsi is not alcoholic.
Jesus, is it REALLY that hard for some people to read?
