I need to be drunk for this conversation. This sounds like a great drunken philosophical conversation coming up here.

Well, there's some amount of sincere belief that you have an obligation to admonish sinners as a spiritual act of mercy:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporal_works_of_mercy, but even then, I think it's supposed to be more of a "hey, did you know that it's sinful to do that, so quit it" rather than "nah nah nah we're better than you."
About being drunk for some conversations: I got a random email from a former student asking me what I thought of copyright in the digital age basically, and I asked him why he asked. His response was that he and his college friends were having drunken debate about it. I'm a complete nerd, but even I didn't waste my college late night conversation on copyright. Kids these days.
