New York City is a place where high performance is demanded if you are to be successful. It's like being in the Olympics every day.
In the Olympics the contestants face repeated and intense drug testing to determine whether performance enhancing drugs have been used. You can imagine what the rate of drug use would be if those tests were eliminated.
In 2013 Lance Armstrong admitted he had been 'doping' through out his career.

Not to forget the former Governor of California:

Are there drug testing stations at the entrance to the high powered financial centers in New York? NO. Nobody wants to know.
Yet it is clear that 'doping' is ubiquitous in the upper levels of power in New York. If I have an important meeting to go to and I MUST be at my absolute best will I snort a little coke to give me that extra edge?
You Betcha!

If I need to debate on TV with 80 million viewers and a touch of coke is as close as my limo driver...
I have worked NYC and can tell you the two best signs you are dealing with someone who has a snoot full: He'll have the sniffles and will have an abnormal loquaciousness... with a drive to interrupt everybody else.
Sound familiar?
just sayin.
A recent example:

"There was a lot of cocaine in his system"
There used to be a thing called the "New York Cocktail" which was popular for the young and driven:
Oxycodone, Cocaine and Prednisone. Two pills and one sniff when you get up and you will have a GREAT day.
