[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Specifically coke. College grad, great job at a great company in the early career program with year long mentoring, etc etc, living in a major city independently, their friends are in the same industry or finance/ib/private equity or consulting (MBB) - I guess they all do it - that’s what I learned hanging out with them last night. Not sure I can DO anything. They all said It’s Fine We’ve Got It On Check. Uggggghhh. Anyone BTDT. Do the kids give it up eventually? [/quote]

Young people in their early 20s feel invincible.  Don't you remember feeling like that?  Of course they don't see a problem.  And they see everyone around them doing it, which makes them feel even more like it's not a problem.  The best thing would be for him to move into a different environment that is not a "great job at a great company in a major city" in an industry such as finance or consulting.  Because that's pretty much the only place where it's normalized.

They should look upwards in their company to see if the VPs seem to be using coke recreationally.  My guess is no.  Ask them why they think that is.  Spoiler alert- because they either flamed out and went to rehab, or died.  Or- if they were lucky- they STOPPED at some point.  [/quote]
