With Wall Street surging and a 24-hour global economy, young professionals have the money and the incentive to stay constantly wired.
“I do it every day,” said Kristoff, a European transplant to New York who works in finance and would not give his last name. He said he pays $150 for two grams of cocaine. “If I have to work at 6 in the morning and I have to be on top of the game, I’ll do it. I’ll take a gram of coke and make half a million dollars.”
Let's set aside the fact that $150 actually seems a little steep for 2 grams, that the Times published a trend piece from twenty years ago, had the gall to write "Coke is the new weed,” and is utterly fucking astounded by all of the "skiing" ads placed on Craigslist, pool our efforts, and find out where Kristoff works, so we can go kill him.

Better than American Psycho, how about "Bright Lights, Big City?" Man, who knew folks in publishing had their noses so far into the Bolivian candy mountain? Looks like Reagan's tax cuts have finally been felt on the street. I haven't felt this young in 20 years.
