I had a summer bout with coke back around '79-80, I knew it was time to get my head out of my ass when I went and got a 1200 dollar personal loan on Friday, blew it all on coke over the weekend, and then realized on Monday I had a f'n 18 month loan to pay, all for a weekend of fun.
To put it in todays perspective, back then I had a good union job making $5 an hr, so $1200 was a dam chunk of change back then.
