To take recreational drugs in your 50s

[Isthisokdoyouthink]

Just that really. Bunch of married fathers going out and taking recreational drugs (concealed up one of them’s rectum) - one hid it from his wife, one has a wife that does it too, the other I don’t know.

What do you think?

AIBU to feel a bit eurgh about it and a bit like they never grew up?

YABU - it’s fine. Each to their own

YANBU - it is a bit yuk.

my husband is late 50s and occasionally does/did coke on a night out (usually lies about it). If he goes out he’ll stay at a mates and come home when he’s feeling better. I think he’d been doing it this way maybe 4-5 times a year for a couple of years before I found out. It made sense as a few times he had called me while on a night out an had seemed so different the way he was talking, the penny eventually dropped that he’d been a coked up twat each time. I just keep reminding him how pathetic it is and that I’m embarrassed for him and won’t take care of him if he survives a massive heart attack, it does seem like he’s stopped. We’ve been together 25 years I’m 13 years younger, we used to have a good time going out drinking when we were younger and he was always a bit wild, I like trail running nowadays though, haven’t been out drinking in about 18 years but he mostly stayed the same I guess.

It might not be worse for health and being a dick than drinking, as many have said. But it is illegal despite what many say about it being normalised. So there are consequences if caught for professional 50 something people that there aren't if they are pissed.

Or they'll have a heart attack. It happens, people think they can take this stuff when they're young and they don't have to work at youth, but advancing years are a pure gamble.

I've seen it happen. They think they're invincible and then they die after a couple of lines.

Extremely pathetic of them. I could forgive a youngster but a grown adult? What a bore.

Are you sure they weren't winding you up? There is no club or venue I've ever been to in the UK where you'd have to smuggle drugs in up your bum. They'd have gone to the loo in order to be discreet about getting them out of whatever container/pocket/sock they were in (and to be discreet about doing them).

The few times I've been to a club in the last ten years (London techno), I've been thoroughly searched. Pockets emptied, wallets emptied, patted down pretty comprehensively, checks for metal. Probably not arse stashing territory, but not just a token gesture.

Good point.
