The article reflects on two surprising realizations of adulthood: the high cost of cheese and the widespread use of cocaine among peers. Despite educational programs warning against drug use and the real-life consequences of addiction, cocaine remains a popular substance in nightlife culture. The juxtaposition of expensive groceries and the accessibility of illegal drugs draws attention to the paradox of modern societal behaviors, wherein harmful substances are normalized despite known dangers.
They say two things you learn when you become an adult are 1. Cheese is expensive and 2. Everyone is doing cocaine.
A trip to the supermarket proves the first, and a night on the tiles at any given nightclub on any given Saturday will likely illuminate you to the latter.
No matter how many classes we had in school about the dangers of drugs and 'just saying NO', there seems to have been little impact on the consumption of cocaine.
No matter how many lives we see ravaged by addiction in this country.
