Line 11:
Not to be confused with [[Straight Edge Evil]], although villainous straight-edge characters often fall into this. If too villainous or smug, it's not unheard of for the Smug Straight Edgers to be [[Hypocrite|less than sincere in their convictions]], if not an outright [[Straw Hypocrite]].

== Advertising ==
* PSAs can get in this territory sometimes. This mainly depends on whether or not [[The Aggressive Drug Dealer]] is present or not - if not, chances are the blame will fall on the people doing drugs.
Line 38:
* [[Mick Foley|Cactus Jack]] did a few promos in [[ECW]] bragging about how hardcore he is, and did brag about never using drugs in high school or during his at the time 10-year career.
* [[Daniel Bryan]] has become this in 2012, repeatedly bragging that being a vegan makes him better than everyone, and even mocking people and saying they're eating garbage when they try to eat meat.
== Stand Up Comedy ==▼
* [[Bill Hicks]] did a bit about the smugness of non-smokers, saying "I'd quit if it wasn't for the fact that I'd become one of you."▼
== Webcomics ==▼
* Bort the lapsed Straight Edge from ''[[Nothing Nice to Say]]'' hasn't abandoned two parts of the straight edge lifestyle; [http://www.mitchclem.com/nothingnice/120/ taking himself too seriously and beating people up].▼
== Western Animation ==▼
* On ''[[A Pup Named Scooby-Doo]]'', often the villains got involved with drugs ([[Drugs Are Bad|Yuck! Patooie!]]) and that's why they are messed up. A good example is a former skateboarding champion who's "no good at all" after he tried steroids.▼
* ''[[Metalocalypse]]'' featured one Rikki Kixx, who runs a rehab movement and fronts a newly clean-and-sober band - it turns out sobriety has been legally forced on him and he's determined that everyone else should be as miserable as he is.▼

Line 49 ⟶ 59:
* Major Dick Winters (subject of ''[[Band of Brothers (TV series)|Band of Brothers]]'') admits in the book that he thought like this - he didn't drink until the evening of D-Day, and thought that taking a single swallow of liquor would have a noticeable deadening effect on his reflexes and thinking.
* People in Alcoholics Anonymous and similar programs can veer into this.
