but if drinking was virtuous, the right thing to do, would it be hypocritical for blarghly to drink?

They are equally neutral because the choices we make for ourselves don't affect others. blarghly chose to think the opposite of that, that those that eat sugary cereals, and the people that eat them, are making bad choices.

I interpret that it’s treated as hypocrisy to mean that drinking is bad, that blarghly probably shouldn’t drink.

Were the original subtext your only context clues, I could understand that take. However, I have repeatedly clarified that I don't care other people drink. With that, I'm not sure why you still feel the subtextual reading is the right one. If you don't trust my clarification, then okay, but that means there's nothing I can say to convince you otherwise so I'm not sure if there's more to talk about.

Okay, knowing that you view it as neutral helps. For some reason I didn't get that.
