Good responses to my comment. It seems though that when I was going to clubs back when (not even that long ago! circa 99/2000?) the drug problems were a lot worse. I have friends who used to attend the Garage (my neighbor for one) and they said it was 10 times worse then. It seems that over time the whole drug thing in clubs has become less of an issue. Think about all the people who used to and no longer post here. I saw Gianni (Msoprano's brother) at his pizza place the other day and he was saying how he rarely even goes out anymore. It goes to show that people move on and yes of course you will have a new fresh stream coming in, but it seems that these days it is becoming less and less noticed. When I was 18, I was all about E and all that hogwash, but now I talk to a lot of 18 year olds (I am 22 now) and most have never tried it and most never do it. Perhaps it is through education that has caused this, perhaps not. Seems that though as house music has moved into clubs outside of Manhattan, people realize that it isn't all about drugs. They play house music at Bridgeview, Mulcahy's, Mirage, and a few other spots I know of on Long Island. Everyone dances to it. There is no need for drugs really (though I'm sure people do them, not doubting that). Seems as if most are there for the alcohol. If you looked back maybe 3 years ago, if you asked someone about house music, they would be like oh it is techno music, oh it is about drugs, oh it is about ravers and UFO's and wearing ridiculous jewlery, etc. I think as time has gone on, it is indeed more about going out and having fun and not so much about getting fucked up. Just my opinion though. As Crackorn stated, it really doesn't matter what you are doing. Go out and have fun, just be respectful to yourself and others
