AFL players take party drugs largely because a) they typically have more money than a typical apprentice or uni student their age and b) it doesn't impact your skinfolds like alcohol does (even if it impacts you in other ways as people are discussing).
Stats show that about 25% of 18-24 year olds have taken party drugs. I'd expect that number to go upward because of the money the players have relative to society, but to also go down, because of the welfare/education/public disapproval as a result. How the two weigh against each other is anyone's guess but anecdotally being that age is the upward forces outweigh the downward ones, and my guess is somewhere between one third and one half of AFL players would have taken some recently.[/QUOTE
Don't use stats and guesswork to conclude your opinion. You sound like a parent who's well and truly got no idea why their child takes recreational drugs. It's not a bad thing but it is cringeworthy.
