) - they are rare among the general population where I live, even among religious people, and as far as I can tell, teetotalism seems even rarer among Esperanto speakers.In general, my observation is that Esperantists are more permissive towards drugs/intoxicants than average. This is probably what motivated the original poster to make this thread, though I agree it should be on the Esperanto forum.
(OK, so alcohol isn't a street drug.

I am not a teetotaler, I drink for religious reasons, but I don't really like the taste and I don't drink alcohol for pleasure. At home without guests I usually use grape juice instead of wine for whatever religious practices require something grapey.

It's always something that has irritated me. I remember going to the Amsterdam Marxism weekend (not recommended as a weekend break) and during the meetings and in the evenings nearly everyone was drunk as a lord and and even people who didn't usually smoke weed were trying it. It gets to be de rigueur and viewed as either a protest or an act of 'freedom', when really it's just plain old getting stoned.
Am I completely wrong about this with regard to Esperanto?

Am I completely wrong about this with regard to Esperanto?I don't have much in-person experience with Esperanto culture outside of my local club, but what you've described seems to hold true for most youth culture, (especially in parts of Europe, plus the UK/US South, which have a difficult relationship with alcohol). During my time at university I knew of exactly two people besides me who didn't drink (excluding health reasons), and many people were not new to pot.
I wonder if this isn't mostly a generational difference. I can't envision the 50+ Esperanto crowd getting stoned on a regular basis.
