Does Cocaine Help With Alertness and Recovery From Being Hung Over?
Question by S: Does cocaine help with alertness and recovery from being hung over?
I watched the movie Flight the other night, and am now interested in cocaine – since it was used quite a bit by the pilot of the plane. In the movie they showed that when the pilot was hung over, he was able to restore himself with cocaine. Does this really work?
I don’t plan to use it, I just was curious. But thanks for the info!

Answer by jr6607
Cocaine is a very dangerous drug,It is an upper so you’d need a downer to balance it but it isn’t that simple,cocaine affects the nervous system and will stay in your body for said amount of time,it is very addicting,the high while awesome at the beginning later enslaves you,and you become dependent on it,your tolerance increases but your heart pulses with adrenaline,you need more,coke is expensive,you do things that normally you wouldn’t do,steal,cheat,lie.Your hygiene ,You no longer care about your appearance,people who love you suffer,they try to help but unless you quit now chances are you’ll be an addict for the rest of your life.Get professional help now or tomorrow may not be here for you.Great movie to watch is “Less than zero”,God bless.
