How can you be so sure ???

He is very clear on a family history situation, thats why.

It would be nowhere near 95%

You obviously haven't been down to Chinese Laundry on a Friday night then.

Pubs are different, but it would easily be 95% at clubs.

You're right Hammo, my 20YO nephew says that almost anywhere you go you can gets drugs with ease, but that is not to say the percentage is anywhere near 95%. He doesn't use by the way. I guess it depends where you go as to the amount that is transacted. My 3 adult children swear they have never used them and indeed one of them works in the rehab area. Right now in our lounge room she says that 90% of 25 year olds would have tried some sort of "recreational drug" at least once at some time and that about 40% would regularly use them at weekends.

Interestingly it appears that half an E tab keeps you going all night and as long as you regularly rehydrate that you wake up as clear as a bell, so for some it beats a hangover from alcohol.

Still 40% is a real worry, no wonder we have an ever increasing rate of depression. My daughter says depression is very proportional to the uptake of these highly dangerous drugs. Yet again it comes out - Joey Johns takes drugs, after a few years he suffers depression.

Cheers as I sip from my Chardy.

haha you really think so? Go out to any club or bar on a sat night and i guarantee you 95% of the people in attendance is wrecked on some kind of illegal substance and not merely just drinking.

The only places where illegal substances will not be found amongst its patrons on a sat night would be places like Rooty hill RSL.

You clearly haven't been to the Ceasar's Palace of the west

Are you sure? I think i am right.

You must be a regular at Petersham RSL then!

The only drug I use is alcohol and don't believe recreational drugs are as prevalent as what everyone says, but perhaps I am just mixing in the wrong crowd.

But not you of course because you are sooooo worried about drugs in the community that you would not want to be a bad influence on your kids.

Especially after you have spread so much sanctimonious zero tolerance crap on the internet.

Er, no, not really but I presume you are being scarcastic. I am not zero tolerance and believe in rehabilitation - yes even for footballers such as Ben Cousins.

I would also add to that more alcohol and more spare time.

It's amazing what partying schedule you'd be able to fit into your life where you're not required to turn up at work until 2pm.

And the more beers you have the more likely it is you'll do something stupid.

I think it might be slightly more prevalent. They have more disposable income, more pressure, and a higher profile.

Probably.... But not significantly more...

Drug use is no more (or less) prevalent amongst footy players than it is the wider community.

I've said it (more than) once and I'll say it again.
