I'm fine with that take. People who are reckless with substances are a lot more likely to be reckless in general. But I think it's silly to act like it also applies to people who occasionally drink, smoke weed, or have an average sex life. And I don't think people should think they're superior for something that may make them a marginally better person if all else were equal, because all else is never equal.
And I'm not hating on sober people, just a very specific minority of them who are obnoxious about it. If you don't partake in those activities, talk about what you actually do then. I feel like they think it's a huge flex that they've never been addicted to anything when in reality they've just lived an easy/sheltered life and haven't put in the effort to understand why other people end up in those situations.
