To be fair, the Lakers were too drunk or hungover after partying in EVERY game they played last season. So it evens out.

yes, but alcohol is a depressant, while a drug like coke is a stimulant. This is again, from my personal experience. If I drink a beer after work, I can comfortably and relaxingly drink it while sitting on a couch or chilling at a bar, but I wouldnt pesonally want to do any physical activity. Again it is my own experience. I definitely seen people enjoying a day at the beach/park playing volleyball and drinking beers ,just never understand from personal experience.

I'd stayed at the infamous Embassy Suites where the cops took him down. Sadly there were no mementos there marking the occasion.
