WSJ article "The Drugs Young Bankers Use to Get Through the Day—and Night"

Curious to see what people make of this new WSJ article "The Drugs Young Bankers Use to Get Through the Day—and Night".

I was laughing as I tried to make it through these guys stories. Do you think this kind of publicity is good as it raises awareness for issues in the industry or does it just make everyone look like a jackass because they find the biggest idiots on the street
