If I said "Unless I eat and drink I will not live long and prosper" I would take the negated of "live long and prosper" to the sufficient side then "eat and drink" in the necessary side. Does the new sufficient side become "not live long and not prosper" or "not live long or not prosper?"

Hi avianadvocate,

Just to be clear, you would take the negation of "not live long and prosper," which would simply be "live long and prosper." In other words, you want to make the negative statement positive by removing the word "not."

Reworded, the sentence basically says "In order to live long and prosper, I must eat and drink."
