He never does both at the same time but it's always one or the other... it's like a choice between his physical health and his finances I guess. On balance I suppose he's better off losing his shirt to Roulette than wrecking himself with cocaine.
I haven't seen him for 5+ years to be fair, wonder how he's getting on  . |
How intersting.
Depending on amounts consumed..the drugs are possibly the better option tbh. MDMA kind of self regulates, as you cannot get high if your body has not recovered so its pretty pointless to overdo it..need a week break at least, preferably more. No sure on cocaine though. For me, coke is such a horrendous waste of money. Though I have only ever tried it once..and not in a 'party setting' which I imagine would make it better! I was extremely underwhelmed, and found it realy odd that so many (especially people in high pressure jobs) do it regularly..when other stuff gives a much beter buzz, lasts longer and is like..a tenth of the price!
You would have thought though, being on drugs would make his gambling worse, not better. Though it could be a case of..all disposable income on gambling, leaving nothing for drugs..and when on drugs, simply cannot afford gambing.
