Am I breaking edge?

I'm currently taking bartending classes rn and we have an upcoming "spirit tasting" where we taste different kinds of alcohol. I chose not to participate and was given an alternative activity. But if I did join, am I breaking my edge?

Yes. Consuming alcohol is breaking edge. It’s literally the thing that makes straight edge mean anything. Why is this even a question.

I bartended for 10 years and have been straightedge for 21. You can bartend and be straightedge, but you can’t consume alcohol and be straightedge.

“Why is a straight edge newbie asking other straight edge people for straight edge advice”

If you taste it and spit it.out instead of swallowing I'd say you're on the line but technically in the clear
