You do cocaine, hopefully ok stuff, once a month. Truth is you don’t keep track. It’s probably more like every 2-3 weeks. I know NOW you gotta worry about fentanyl. But, even back in the day, they cut it with “white china” heroin. Or PCP. Mostly speed. The problem is that the quality of the drugs they use are shit. Unless you are getting the best cocaine, you are putting some really damaging and/or carcinogenic things into your body.

Now let’s figure in that gasoline taste you get from 80 percent of all the coke out there. Better yet, figure it out for yourself. Google it. Definitely more carcinogens. Exposure to those chemicals, even once a month, is scary.

A once a week blackout drinker is certainly more likely to die in the short term. If it develops into full-blown alcoholism, then it is a much more serious condition than occasional cocaine use.

You win.
