There are a wealth of very successful alcoholics and cocaine users too. On an average, alcoholism and cocaine dependence still ruins life. Don’t look at the exceptions to define the average.

2x drinks at a happy hour isn't successful alcoholism, that's just a lack of cultural stigma.

I also slightly doubt casual cocaine won't catch up with you eventually, might take years. Stimulants are generally work friendly anyway, see coffee/adderall.

Not for as long of a duration. Apples to oranges.

There are also a wealth of very unsuccessful people who don't partake in drugs or alcohol. These points prove nothing
