Seperate alcohol and drugs classification labels
I like to drink rum while I stream. It's kind if my thing. Since I drink a couple of glasses of alcohol, twitch is forcing me to add the alcohol classification, which is fine, but why am I now being forced to brand my stream with "Drugs, Intoxication, or Excessive Tobacco Use" in big letters under my stream?
I don't want my stream to be associated with drug use. Seperate these labels so people know exactly what they're watching instead of such a broad classification of completely different things.

Sorry mate, if it is obvious you drink rum and you talk about it, I think nothing needs to be changed. Alcohol is a drug and even though it is widely accepted in society it should be labeled as such.

i dont drink alcohol, and moreso i have been off alcohol and drugs for 10 years. i smoke pot (cbd) and cigarettes, and have to use the same classifications. i agree that there should at least be a designation regarding Smoking and a separate designation regarding Drinking.
within drinking, i think intoxication is unfair to assume that a person is streaming intoxication due to a glass of alcohol.
within smoking, i think tobacco use and pot use are not interchangeable, as many tobacco smokers and pot smokers do not mix well with each other.
that all being said, i do not get intoxicated with the pot i smoke, it is legal for use in film and broadcast as set by international broadcasting standards. yet this labeling i have to use is unfair to put me in this same category as people who drink on stream in the same category as those who get drunk on stream.
instead of antialcohol verbage or antismoking verbage, i would rather it read "alcohol friendly" and "smoker friendly" so as to be be inclusive of people who are looking for a streamer that would welcome new members who also drink alcohol, much similarly as to how the community of pot supporters use the term "420 friendly".
a person doesnt even have to smoke pot to be "420 friendly" as it can arise in their discussions politically with viewers, and to call that "drugs" i believe is incredibly unfair.

There shouldn’t be a separation for the fact that All alcohol contains some level of ethanol and in the medical field Ethanol is classed as a high dangerous drug so I do not agree with you and urge everyone who voted this to go look at all the toxic chemicals that are in Alcohol.

Really silly to group everything together like that, in agreement with this post

Absolutely agree. It’s ridiculous to lump these all together.

Seperate the categories! I agree with Yorkshire's statement. This is ridiculous and super misleading.

Completely agree with this statement. Drug use, tobacco use, and alcohol consumption should all be separate categories. To lump them all in together could potentially cause streamers to lose viewers if they see that label. Please separate the categories!

These things are not the same. Grouping them together is harmful and not ok.
