Sobriety 

The absence of sobriety is not addiction.
Hym "Hey, it helps me stay awake after my shift so I don't fall asleep as soon as I get home, wake up 8 hours before my shift, and get tired half way through my shift. People like to create a flase dichotomy between sobriety and being addiction. As though ANY use of a drug is evidentiary of an inability to remain sober. I have always been an advocate of deliberate brain chemistry augmentation. Thc to stay awake (For me specifically. The response to Thc varies so it does different things for different people.) Adderall to regulate mood and prevention lapses/micro-lapses in attention throughout the day. Ginseng to keep a boner. Caffeine to clog up them adenosine receptors. Drugs are good!"

Sobriety Test Fear-Fail 

The surreal anticipatory period of uncertainty and apprehension during which the real-time performance of a road-side sobriety test hangs in the balance between spectacular, unbelievable success and crushing, hopeless defeat.
Just look at her; she's tryin' her BEST to walk heel-to-toe, watch-the-movin' cop finger, cartwheel, back-flip and hand-stand. Right now she's in Sobriety Test Fear-Fail...better call in the lawyers anyway...

Sobriety Divide 

The real or imagined social/metaphysical distance between the intoxicated and the sober.
The officer struggled to divine the driver's mumblings. She could not translate his words or intentions, the sobriety divide was too vast.

Sobriety Lights 

The lights which are turned on in a bar or nightclub at or shortly before closing time so as the staff can see to clean up and to give the patrons the signal to leave. These can be either a specific set of lights or simply the general lighting in the building.
"How was your night?"
"Not bad - we stayed at the pub until the sobriety lights came up and we had to head out."
