Recently, I've Had This Idea...

Well For those of you that know anything about me, I'm Straight Edge.
(aka, I don't drink, do drugs, or have casual sex.)

Recently, I've been thinking in a very well... Ray Bradbury style.

What if (stick with me for a second) we lived in a world where the government realized that the reason that the world was so unstable was because everyone was smoking and drinking and doing stuff like that? What if they decided that they were going to put this bracelet like think on every single person alive that detected
A)smoke fumes
B) checked blood for unnecessary amounts of alcohol intake
and C) checked blood for any intakes of illegal drugs.

How would the world be different?
Would things improve or would things just be a lot more troublesome?

Recently, I've been thinking about writing a short story, taking place in the very drug influenced 80's or in current time or in the future where this action took place. The story would be from the point of view of a past alcohol abuser and pot addict and their outlook upon the world at that time. How they deal with it and maybe they might even find a way to change things depending on how I want the character to be.

Please tell me what you think of this idea.
Again, I have nothing against people who do the kind of stuff I don't. It's just not my style. It's all your choice how you are.

Love always,
