The only side of the street we need to keep clean is our own.
I read it as more of a commentary on the tedium of boozing. With a healthy dose of self reflection on past personal behavior.

Odd how we 'see' the same thing and yet it 'looks' different.

You saw and it looked like 'Judge not lest you be judged', but to me it looked like 'Love the sinner , hate the sin'

btw , I consider myself way way cooler as a teetotaler, and to further cliches , I'd not be part of any club that would have me as a member
