Different than alternative lifestyle (often used to describe being part of the LGBTQ+ community), alternate lifestyle describes a life outside the social norms. It may include making money by selling drugs, living as part of a gang, living on the streets by choice, choosing a job of stealing/robbery instead of a law abiding legal job. Living an alternate lifestyle is often a choice by someone (at first), where someone is choosing to live alternate to the lifestyle they are currently able to live. It is not someone living without a house due to job loss, or other unfortunate circumstances, it it a chosen lifetyle for whatever reason (looks/sounds cooler than what they are doing, friends are doing it, they are mad at parents and are choosing to live away instead of going home.).

Ahh, yeah his parents are looking for him.

Choosing not to drink alcohol in excess. Only having several drinks on special occasions. With a damp lifestyle, you may have a drink on the weekend but sometimes choose not to drink at all.

someone who lives the preppy anime tradie lifestyle, is usually very aesthetic, enjoys watching anime and aspires to drop out of school and become a tradie. this style is extremely odd and there are barely any people who fall under this category of lifestyle. however those people are known to be successful in life.

The state of constant defiance to feeling in the wrong or defeated, these character types go about doing the honorable work in a quiet manner. Often looking to other’s to explain their own feelings of salt. It’s not a way of life that is chosen but it chooses you.
Benji was the only person worth any salt in the board room meeting that morning. It’s the salt lifestyle that gave Benji the foresight to recommend moving the staff entrance away from the fitness centre attached to the building.

The way someone lives.
It's used as a verb. Can also just be used as a way to define each situation in life. It doesn't matter if something bad or something good happens, can be used either way.
