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.
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.
when you talk about it in relation to a substance that inebriates you, someone is gunna not think “oh they are talking about insulin” and more so “are they talking about drugs?”
Take neither; show up drunk as FUCK.
Bring yo needles!
Okay I’m here. What now?
Sunscreen, maybe?
don’t need sunscreen if you go at night
Raise hell!
Username made me chortle
wtf
What? If you’re not bringing yo beer, bring yo needles at least. It’s the beach.
Hell yeah! Where all my New Jerseyans at?
Broken glass, needles, now I gotta watch Wristcutters again
what the hell are you talking about dude?

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

Eeza joke. (Or a distraction from Lemmy’s user base’s taste for hard drugs.)
I chuckled at it
They are referring to when New Jersey had a huge problem with needles washing up on the beaches back in the 90s.
oh im canadian so i don’t get that.
how about you don’t need to drink, and drinking while outside in the sun further accelerates dehydration.
I find your disdain for my culture borderline racism. Think about your hurtful words before you speak them. Now let’s have a drink and be friends. :)
huh. how is that racism. just drink water at the beach mate its better for you.
Water at the beach is salty.
So make pasta!
just bring a desalination plant
