I believe he is making a joke regarding the practice of consuming drugs via intravenous injections, also commonly known as "shooting up." The precipice of the joke appears to be the expectation that when one "takes neither and shows up drunk", and the twist is that "rather than showing up drunk he's doing hard drugs such as heroin, cocaine, or even methamphetamine or other commonly shot drugs" wherein lies the humor. Though that is simply my interpretation, and perhaps the original poster will be so kind as to elucidate, we shall see.
Or they're just saying something that'd be even worse than broken glass to step on.
That's too sensible. If the explanation doesn't involve the late Queen I don't want to hear it
You don’t typically shoot up meth or cocaine. Coke is usually snorted, meth is usually snorted or smoked, crack is usually smoked. Heroin is the only one that is typically shot up.
You can shoot up meth and coke, but it’s not the go-to method since it’s harder (and needles can be difficult to source). It’s usually only used by the hardest users, because they’ve become too tolerant for other methods to get them high.
You'd be surprised, people do indeed shoot coke or meth. They've also been known to use sprite when they didn't have water, which is actually crazier when you think about it.
A lot of people like to take drugs on the beach and discard the needles in the sand to the point the beach is more needle than sand.
Depends on your location. You at Wildwood? Lol
