Drugs

2021 I want to reduce coke intake dramatically (not that I take much anyway). It used to be something only for special occasions/raves.
Im sure it's the same everywhere in uk/Eire/europe but I don't like how even a few pints in the pub involes a bag of coke these days.
 
I haven't done anything in months apart from some cheeky chisel at a bbq in the summer. I miss just having a copa with people more tbh.

I'm in the same boat. as much as I love the 'fun stuff', what I most miss is actually getting together with lots of people. in 9 days it'll be a year since I last danced in a full club with a soundsystem on full blast. I miss it loads! I'm getting off topic though sorry.

I blame Oasis. By the time of their massive Knebworth gig, even the London surburbs' Irish pubs, where most punters would have had a dim view of proper nightclubs and the drugs that went with them, even some of the older clientele were queueing for the cubicles. Even the straight-laced kids you went to school, who were still playing Gaelic football were at it.

Bizarrely for some of these punters, coke was a gateway drug for Es. They would never have done drugs before
 
In London there was all this oneupmanship & social status associated with who you knew and the pursuit was as much a drug as the drug itself! i knew so many people 40s/50s who could carry on for days. You have to be freelance or self-employed to get away with that! Maybe now more people are home it's rocketing? Anyway I had to leave it all behind. You briefly feel amazing but diminishing rtns. then just talk a lot of shit and get nothing done rest of the week. I also found it got quite dark & paranoid when you suspected people were just leeching & it complicated friendships. Whenever i get nostalgic for the parties i need to remember all that side of it too. In Spain i think the culture feels different maybe because weekenders are less common maybe? but am a lot less in the know these days.
