I went to university with a Comp Sci major who looked an awful lot like a very young Prince Phillip, (he wasn’t, this was a US university, and he’s about 4 decades too young) who could barely function at all sober. Give him some weed, and he’ll debug your mess of a program and explain what you did wrong in less than 30 minutes. I watched as he coded, and documented his own OS on LSD over a period of about 12 hours once.
I knew an extremely functional alcoholic like that once. Dude was a beast with computers and coding but he would rip through two to three Natty Daddy’s a night. Super smart but I just can’t believe he can consume so much every night and function like a normal human being the next day. Apparently he would write and fix code while drinking. Kind of seems like a recipe for disaster but sure enough, he gets it done and done right.
I tried what he did once and nursed a hangover for the better part of a day.

Some of these guys just tick different.
