“And don’t forget the two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine and a whole multicolored collection of uppers, downers, laughers, screamers . . . Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a case of wine, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for BerzerkerDay, but once you get into a serious booze and drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a Berzerker behind a computer screen in the depths of an ether binge and I knew we’d get into that rotten stuff pretty soon . . .”
Wow, so if that’s just one-third and the trend holds, Berserkers moved nearly 400 cases of wine for over $100K in one day! (yeah, I now can do the “big” math).
