Having a good time laughing your ass off with friends lubed by some drugs and booze is absolutely good for you. I wrote a piece about my drinking about how one day, I'm a party binge drinker on the weekends in my 20s, then the next day, I'm an unhappily married guy in my 40s with a bottle in the leaky garage. It creeps on you to use drugs and booze to deal when it should be the sprinkles on top of ice cream, as I like to say.
