    :im-doing-my-part: I chose drugs because it's the quickest thing to discard when the zone gets cool:think-about-it:

      wait I'm sorry. I'm kinda thick today. Is the joke that drugs become more available or less available as the coolness factor gets turned up?

        Most of the things listed that preclude one from the military are chronic conditions for which there's no quick fix, something that would be a hindrance in times of instability. But it's relatively much easier to quickly stop being high than it is to quickly lose a lot of weight, making it the tactical coolzone choice out of this list of chronic conditions you mostly don't actually choose.

        I guess the joke is that I'm metagaming instead of just having a problem

          Not in my experience. A few week-long rolling fasts are no problem compared to months of withdrawal and a lifetime of constantly tamping down cravings.
