Yep, understandable. His example sounds an awful lot like he was trying to self-medicate undiagnosed ADHD symptoms in maybe the most fucked up way possible, which I'd find tragic if he weren't a goddamned ghoul from a powerful family of ghouls, because you know full well he isn't going to show that same sympathy and consideration towards regular people who are struggling with addiction. And of course we live in the reality where Hyannis Port didn't have an "ironic" yacht club grunge scene.
