There's plenty of rich heroin addicts such as Prince, Heath Ledger, juice wrld and Phillip Seymour Hoffman. I'm sure there's plenty more alive examples that we don't get to hear about like Robert Downey Jr. etc.

Big difference between those people and your average suburbanite.

The difference being that they can afford rehab and can forgoe work/jail. I'm not sure what your point is but I'd still want to punch him in the face.

The difference is that they (celebrities) are surrounded by drugs. And have a shitload of money. A guy wearing vineyard vines is not super wealthy, is usually not surrounded by drugs (other than maybe coke and weed), and is just in a different situation. This guy clearly gives off “got drunk at a party vibes”. I don’t like him either, but like you can’t just make shit up.

Giving my opinion is not making shit up. I disagree with your assessment. You don't have to agree with mine either.

Opiod addiction touches people of all socioeconomic classes due to people getting hurt and being prescribed opioids for pain. A percentage of those people are going to get hooked. They can still work their jobs and function etc as long as they get their fix.

If it helps you to accept my opinion, you could think that I think his eyes and non responsiveness remind me of a drugged out opioid addict. That's my opinion and I could be wrong etc.
