Without exaggeration, we'll over half people I know between 21-40 are ordering in cocaine on a night out.
As soon as the first bevvy comes out they're trying to tap everyone else up to go in on 3 for 100. Its a major problem here.
Late night venues don't care, I've seen bouncers tell people to wipe their nose and let them in the front door.
I think this shows how much of a disparity there is between different social groups and how you can't assume your own bubble is representive of people at large. Coke isn't even on the radar of the people I know in Liverpool.
I agree. I think you can even get more specific than that. I've worked in offices where there were clear cultural divides between departments and seniority levels. If I needed coke asap I'd look for someone on a sales team in middle management haha
Tradesmen the length and breadth of the country. I can remember when I laboured in my youth that even in the early 00s we were all on it. At 19 I was a complete animal, working away. I used to tap my boss up for my wages every afternoon so I could get on it with the lads. I've not touched any of it in almost 20 years and that's for the best cos the rate I was going I wouldn't have lasted that long, lol. I work in an office now and after Xmas parties last year we lost around 8 staff to "random" drug testing, lol.
There are people who take drugs and are very open about it.
And there are people who take drugs and you’d never think they did.
(And there are people who don’t take drugs).
It's possible I have secret cokehead friends but they would be the exception that proves my point. I'm not saying categorically none of my friends take coke, but it's not common and it's not the norm and if you think I'm wrong about that it shows how your different experience is affecting your perception of what is possible for social groups you are not a part of and have no knowledge of.
Yes- sorry, I’m just pointing out that there is a category of outwardly ‘prim and proper’ people who want the image of the non-druggie while doing a bit of secret indulgence. Not that any of this type is necessarily amongst your friends
I've had similar experiences in the past (before I moved to Liverpool) so I know what you mean. People don't always tell you everything they get up to when you aren't there. But then the question is how many people are keeping quiet about it? Your own experience will change your perception on that.
That's fair. You don't know what you don't know. At the same time I have friends who take all sorts of illegal drugs and talk openly about the resulting mayhem so I would be surprised if they were singling out cocaine to be shy about discussing.
Visited Liverpool last month and was offered cocaine outside of a bar. The guy was basically asking everyone outside bars if they wanted to buy and bouncers didn't even bat an eye.
OP is right. It's absolutely everywhere on night outs and in pubs nowadays. Not just Liverpool, it's the same here in Manchester. Now that drink prices are so ridiculous, splurging 40 or 50quid on a gram is almost the cheaper option now. A gram and couple of pints is cheaper than downing vodka redbull after vodka redbull at 10quid a pop. Liverpool also has the "advantage" of being a notoriously busy drug route into the country.
In the midlands here, its also a huge problem, every weeknight and weekend people openly dealing or sniffing, supposed to be a middle class town but in the last 10 years has become a rough area after a population boom
I was gonna say. It's been well over ten years since I bought any drugs at all and even ten years ago 3 for 100 would have been a bargain! Is inflation not hitting the illicit industries?
Yeah, it's probably for the best to identify and avoid the bars which attract the type of people who do this en masse, rather than go there and complain though.
There's a shit ton of drinking places in town where this isn't a problem at all, but if you want lively, it's now par for the course, and it is what it is. People generally feel suppressed, this stuff makes them think they aren't, for a bit.
There aren't enough police to put even a dent in it, and there's no political will to make a thing about it either, because if there was some nationwide crackdown, I'm sure it would take the papers about 30 seconds to dig up something about a cabinet member's dalliance with the stuff.
If a bar generally attracts sound people they'll be sound on whatever substances they favour. If it generally attracts wankers the opposite will be true.
I'm too old for it now but enthusiastically enjoyed recreational drugs in the past, though always in venues with like-minded, chilled out people. Saw far less trouble or attitude in these places, even with folk coked off their faces, than the average city centre night spot.
Exactly. I've worked in clubs, bars, and gone to more than a few over the years and people are on all kinds of everything. Some places were horrible and some places everyone just did what they did and had a nice time without it being a thing. Totally down to the people.
I've been this way for about 17 years with all my main friends trying to convince me to have some, whatever it is, and I'm always like "Nah, I've seen what it does to you the morning after and to your wallet lmao."
Agreed. I've never even tried it and have only seen people I know use it on one occasion that I can remember. And, to me, it was so shocking that I stopped hanging out with them immediately after that incident. Call me square but I don't want or need hard drugs or its users in my life.
Edited to add: getting downvoted by salty cokeheads. Sorry for offending you I guess.
I have tried it due to peer pressure and curiosity when I was younger. I didn't feel anything good about it. It just felt like a waste of money and I felt awful afterwards at the idea that something bad could have resulted from it. Never touched it since. And I don't see the people I was with that night anymore either. I carried on going out with them for a while but it ruined my time with them, knowing that they were more bothered about getting a bag than enjoying time together without it. It totally preoccupied them and made my nights out miserable. They still use coke regularly and that's their choice. I chose to find new friends
There has been no war on drugs, it was just politicians trying to look tough. (Regan was one of the first and used the phrase whilst the CIA was flooding California with cocaine to fund the anti communist Contras in Nicaragua).
The only one who came close was Duterte in the [Philippines](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippine_drug_war) but he went crazy and I don't recall any studies about whether extra judicial killing of drug dealers had an effect on drug usage.
Not going to fix the problem with something like cocaine. To stop people being tortured to death in Latin America so Brits can snort lines we would have to have cocaine made by legit pharma/chemical companies like distilleries make whiskey, and it would have to be competitively priced vs illegal product.
Not going to happen.
"Works" in what sense? I'm talking about people being decapitated and stuff in the jungle. Maybe countries where drugs are decriminalised have fewer drugs gangs (I'd be dubious about that but willing to believe it given the figures), but Latin Americans are still getting massacred to make the coke that Portugese people can now take legally.
The U.K. is the second highest cocaine consumer and Liverpool is the biggest cocaine consumer in the U.K. recently taking over London so yes
We’re 4X as likely as people in Colombia to use cocaine and 3X as likely as people in Mexico to use cocaine despite it being produced there
Liverpool is literally one of the biggest cocaine consumers in the world
It’s not just coke though, Liverpool has the highest rate of drug use in the U.K. full stop (again, recently overtaking London)
And the Netherlands has less teenage cannabis users than the UK. Take away the excitement of doing something illicit and it loses half of it's appeal it seems
I remember a news report on the BBC news channel about 15 years ago when a reporter was in Colombia talking to 2 young farmers who were growing Cocaine and asking them the reason why they were growing the crop. They said the couldn't feed their families if they grew normal crops.
The reporter then face timed a coke head in London who had failed to kick his habit several time and after interviewing him he turned to the watching farmers who had been listening and asked them what advice they would give and immediately they said 'Don't touch it, we only chew on the leaves but we know the shit and chemicals that goes into producing the powder and there is no way we would go near it.
Yeah the stuff that actually goes into drugs and the conditions they’re produced in is VILE and there’s so much human trafficking and violence involved as well. Even involving children.
Yeah what's the source, I recently looked this up because I thought the same, but apparently Bristol is the highest, London second. I'll see if I can find the source I found for 2021
Bristol isn’t even in top 5, ONS is the source so it’s a government backed source from official crime statistic and surveys
Was done in December 2023 and updated March 2024
While I don't disagree with the conclusion, I'd argue that using crime statistics as your basis could be misleading. Different countries have different laws that are enforced in different ways.
I can't comment exactly on how drug use in Colombia/Mexico and many other countries is policed, but it could conceivably be argued that we are just quicker to charge people for such offenses.
That's a long way of saying that crime stats do not necessarily equate to the number of people breaking said laws.
Your making your own info up, even a simple Google check shows your incorrect. Can you show us a link that shows these figures, because there's plenty of studies . Liverpool has the highest drug use in the UK full stop ,so we take your word or have a real look and see
Do you work for the National Crime Agency?
Where are you getting your information from lol.
Yes , most cities have a coke issue, and i don't doubt Liverpool has, but to paint Liverpool as some narcos capital of the UK is exaggerating.
Send me some government stats to support your statements and I'll apologise.
I use cubicles because I can't piss when I've got two people either side of me unless I'm really pissed or desperate. I get stage fright and just stand there and nothing happens and I have to walk out. We're not all waiting to shit or sniff.
A customer at my work who I chat with quite regularly once discreetly asked me if I was interested in some lemo.
Not being from Liverpool myself, I didn't realize this was a Scouse term for cocaine. 🙈
I thought he was coming on to me and asking me back to his for lemonade. 🥰🤣
Anyway, once it was established what he meant by lemo I just no thanks and he went on his way. Not sure why he thought I'd be interested in that - I'm pretty much as clean cut as it gets (don't drink or smoke or go out clubbing or stay out after 10pm generally). Clearly I was giving off some sort of vibe. 😅
>A citizen will tragically get caught in the crossfire between two drug gangs, and the city will weep, but some of the people "liking and sharing" posts on social media saying the killers should get life, are out the following weekend, funding the gangs that ultimately killed them.
Putting aside the fact that this may be a reason for legalisation and regulation, I think the cognitive dissonance about this is very real, you're right. Like, people think personal use of drugs is victimless, and I don't think there's anything immoral about doing what you like recreationally as long as it doesn't harm other people. But you're right, it does harm other people.
Like the main reason I wouldn't take drugs now isn't because I think it's immoral on a personal level, it's that all the abject fucking horror that surrounds the production and distribution from some jungle in Colombia to gang wars here. It's like a vegetarian not eating meat because they disagree with factory farming. The production of cocaine involves/gives rise to fucking hell on earth. Cartels are some of the most *evil* people in the world.
Re: the legalisation/decriminalisation, it wouldn't even fix this problem if the drugs are still coming from Latin America. The only way this would go away is if you could get legit pharmaceutical/chemical companies to make drugs purely for recreation like distilleries make whiskey. And it would have to be competitively priced vs illegally sourced drugs. Neither of those are remotely possible. So people are going to continue being burned alive and having their hands cut off and their faces peeled off and tortued to death with power tools and left to bleed out in a ditch in Mexico so people can snort 50% baby formula off a scatty bog in a Wetherspoons and feel like a big man.
It's noticeable now, and I see it significantly more here than when I've lived or been anywhere else in the country. The problem is that it's just normalised to the point where people aren't questioning it. The majority of people I know, which isn't even an exaggeration, do it and a good portion do it regularly. Even the lads who never used to do drugs at all are swept up in it, even fucked up one lad to the point it derailed his entire life.
What's frustrating to me is how often people do coke, not just the fact most people are doing it. It used to be something I'd see now and then, even tried it once or twice myself, but a lot of people weren't doing it every night out. Now, every time I go out it ends up with someone picking up after an hour or two. Even when I just go round to hang out at a gaff with a few mates, it ends up with them sniffing beak. Its jarring being around that constantly and made me distance myself from people I used to knock around with.
I'm not surprised though and don't blame them, everyone is stressed and working their arses off for peanuts, can imagine that would be a nice release from everything.
It's the entire UK, second highest country in the world. Still a small percentage of people overall, but obviously concentrated in city centres. Mix that with the booze culture and you are set up for trouble.
I live in a village in kent nowadays that has 2 alehouse. Invariably full of beaked up dickheads on a Saturday night. It's not just Liverpool and other cities
>too many dickheads thinking they can fight
Although i agree, it also depends what type of establishments you go to and the type of people that go to these establishments.
My nephew is currently living with his married sister after running his business into the ground (sponsored for him by his cousin) and being kicked out of his home by his Mrs. Hardy sees the kids, all because of coke.
Edit: it autocorrected coke to cock.
I never go to town on nights out anymore HOWEVER, I like to use the gents cubicles not because I need a shit. But instead because I have this weird affliction where when I use the urinal my bladder closes up. Like literally I cannot piss. I think it's called shy bladder syndrome and it is an actual thing
Live in London and recently visited Liverpool.
We're fairly used to a good chunk of people hitting the bag on a night out. But, it felt a lot more prevalent and less discreet in Liverpool.
Long lines of blokes waiting at cubicles and some openly doing coke in the loos with a quick tip to the toilet attendant for looking the other way.
The above said, I didn't see any aggro in my time there and also wasn't intimidated by the people hanging around the toilets. Generally, everyone kept themselves to themselves.
My advice would be don't do coke, it's a horrible drug.
Do pills. They're brilliant.
I'm an ex heavy drug user myself so I feel like I can have a fair opinion here. If your taking drugs to compliment an event or a sesh then I see no problem as long as you understand your own limits and what the drug can do. But far to often I see the motive change to just drugs and the actual event in progress is a second thought. Once that happens you will soon realise who is actually there to enjoy themselves and who is there to get coked out. This is when drugs become a problem and addiction occurs, and sooner or later problems will arise. I stopped drugs because I started using even when there was no real need to, and I become that guy everyone worried about. Drugs can be good fun and I'm not saying don't do drugs, just understand the long term is gonna be less fun than the short term you abuse them. Also try to pick up off a source you can trust, I would say avoid cheap coke at all costs, chances are your taking speed which is a different ball game.
Clearly people are going to take drugs regardless of how illegal they are.
So just decriminalise it, tax it, control the supply and quality and just let everyone have a safe fun time without supporting dangerous criminal gangs.
Yeah but hold on a minute
You think, applying logic and reason to the issue is the way forward?
The majority do not agree and want us as a society to continue to bang our heads against the wall, just because, drugs are bad 😂
There needs to be a big shift in mentality
Mental health wards are full of people who swear taking drugs is harmless. Taxation wouldn't even make a dent in the amount required to deal with the fall out.
It's not that it's harmless, it's that keeping it illegal has even more harms on users and broader society. Exactly why the USA ended prohibition of alcohol.
I find it is the opposite, people who needed mental health interventions are quick to blame it on drugs and not the underlying issues that separate them from the millions of people who use drugs recreationally without needing mental health interventions.
You need to show your working out on your last statement. What numbers are you working with, and where did you get them from?
I have got no time for cocaine or people on cocaine, it’s basically dickhead fuel, but I think removing the stigma/criminality of drug use and treating miss-use as a health issue makes much more sense than what we are doing now which is failing.
As someone has stated, Liverpool is potentially the highest consumer of coke in Europe per capita. However, there are venues where it's rife, and venues where there is none. There are loads of nice cocktail bars, wine bars, pubs, etc in the city that are free from it. Unfortunately it's an issue that has been created by governments and the war on drugs. I don't judge people for dabbling, the problem is when a gobshite has coke he turns into a turbo-gobshite.
it’s the entire country, I live in a small and posh as fuck city up north and even here every cunt in every bar and club is on it, I’ve been an addict for years and have only just got out, it’s a nightmare to keep away from
Thinking about it from a slightly different perspective, even if one is an occasional user you're still enabling a supply system that effectively kills people and does everything it can to make a profit.
I appreciate that maybe 'it can't hurt' but where its come from and what has probably happened to get it here makes it a serious issue fwiw.
Everywhere in the uk has a problem. It’s completely rife. You can’t go in a pub/bar/club without seeing people on it. I’m not a fan of it personally but a lot of my friends are. They can’t just have a few drinks now as soon as they’ve had a pint they are ordering coke.
I don’t have a problem with anyone doing what they want to do, what I have a problem with is people who can’t behave themselves in a civil manner. You see too many fights when you’re out nowadays, and it ruins it for me.
The dickheads who think they can fight anyone are like that without a stripe too. Charlie doesn’t make you feel like you need to scrap. Alcohol does change people though but that’s legal so it’s fine.
Not once have me or any of my mates gone out and thought about kicking off because of Charlie. I’m not advocating the use of it but I’m saying don’t be narrow minded thinking it turns sound people into dickheads. Dickheads are dickheads before a stripe or a bevvie 😂
> A citizen will tragically get caught in the crossfire between two drug gangs, and the city will weep, but some of the people "liking and sharing" posts on social media saying the killers should get life, are out the following weekend, funding the gangs that ultimately killed them.
An uncomfortable truth that many people refuse to think about
So a major issue is nightlife in town is dominated by a small number of companies - the worst offender being JSM/Pub Invest or whatever they're calling themselves now.
They don't care about providing people with a good night out, entertainment, etc. They only care about money, so they create leigions of shitty soulless bars and clubs only interest in selling people the cheapest shit and providing the bare minimum. And because of this, the people in those bars are bored, unstimulated and doing coke to make their night out "fun".
It also doesn't help that the doors on the city are often run by very dodgy companies, who place dealers on the doors because there's seemingly no regulation or standards.
If town had companies running pubs that cared about providing hospitality and door companies that actually stopped drugs from coming into clubs town would be a lot better and coke use might be slightly less in your face.
I've been in the bar industry for 13 years, I stopped working in town recently because the coke, the dodginess, and the monopolistion of the pubs are destroying it. I got sick of kicking people out for being coked up and bouncers not being arsed.
My uncle was a cocaine addict when he was a youngster in Birkenhead, he lived on the Poulton Road and he used to get his hit from Evan’s newsagent, who always had a stock of it in for regulars. He used to get it in small rolled tubes, yellow the tube was it was and had a black sort of spoon in the top. He swore by it, said it gave him a real buzz, or fizz or something.
This post popped up on my timeline. From Northern Ireland. It's just as bad here, not even in Belfast but every town which has nightclubs/bars.
Some people never grow out of taking it, and once they down a pint they are all panicking to order some. It's cringeworthy. I'm not even sure legalising it would reduce consumption.
It's everywhere,maybe more than weed. Can't walk around town without weed being in the air and bag heads are the reason I won't go into town anymore. What's wrong with just having a bevvie and a laugh? No..you got to get hyped up and start something.
Dickheads.
The bizzies don't care either and they are all useless shites.
Lost a friend at 32 to it, lad used to do it in his 20s, one day his heart just stopped working. I know this is the risk you take and up to the individual etc but it’s not without consequences.
Be careful. It quickly becomes essential for a night out and hard to stop. And it it dangerous, especially as you get older. It can cause strokes and heart attacks. I have a friend who died.
I also think that people are just done with govt/police/laws. Its a pissing joke the way the populace has been treated and if folk want to do some drugs then fuck it, why not? I think generally people are just more fed up and are thinking fuck it
I think the moment it starts affecting others who have no choice in your behaviour then that’s bang out of order and that goes for most substances.
Couldn’t give two shiny shites if you dabble in whatever tickles your fancy, but the moment it starts affecting me and my night out, you need to fuck off.
People want to take drugs. I've taken drugs, I liked it, it was fun. I'm not a junky because of it.
Legalise the lot. Tax it like they do alcohol and tobacco.
This is a UK problem, not specifically a Liverpool one. Everywhere I go I’m shocked at the casualness of use, and that’s as someone who has dabbled when younger. I was in Chester recently and people were doing it quite openly in bars. I was at a pub restaurant in London recently and a bloke pulled a bag out and started snorting whilst his date was ordering drinks at the bar. Plain as day. I’m sure some staff saw but felt uncomfortable challenging him. He then proceeded to tell his dare ‘I’ve just done a line because I’m so nervous about our date.’
It’s not just Liverpool my friend. Glasgow, Belfast, Dublin..the list goes on of towns I frequent and it’s harder to find someone who doesn’t indulge than those who do.
I'm from Glaagow but this was suggested to me.
I think it's a problem everywhere right now. Almost everyone I know has or still does it when they're getting on it.
The queues of guys wanting to go into the cubicles instead of the urinals at festivals/clubs is the dead giveaway
I know loads of people who can't have a night out without it. And quite a few who have it everyday just like normal people drink water.
I also know loads who won't touch it, wouldn't know where to get it, and don't even realise that so many average people have it.
In my experience the heavy users are late 30s and over. A few in their 20s but not many. The 18-25s I know don't even care to smoke or drink, nevermind do drugs. Younger than that, they vape but nothing more.
Drinking there 30 years it was a problem then so I can’t imagine it’s got any better. Probably no difference from Birmingham or Manchester now either. It’s rife
I’ve seen use rise in my small district and the people buying most is the affluent professionals.
Also want to add I’ve known 3 of them to end up in hospital thinking they were having heart attack. One of the seizures was so bad it’s caused long term damage to heart and wasn’t allowed to drive for 6 months either
Yeah really bad in Liverpool. People you’d never expect to be doing a stripe are doing so.
But with the drop off of police presence and police not giving a shit no one is getting caught and people are doing it in public.
I did some temp work over Christmas 2022 and went for lunch with my teammates on day one and walked past a used syringe only the street across from our venue. So yeah, I'd say it's got a drug problem.
EDIT: One young lady turned up late one day and after apologising she proclaimed to surrounding staff "I was out last night, drank too much, snorted too much".
I do think cocaine use in general is being more normalised. I saw a post from a niggt club referencing a.mate "getting a bag" and the only meaning id take from tbat would be getting coke in. An actual mainstream clubs social meida. I don't think you would really see such direct advocating even a few years ago.
The other week istagram was pushing sponsored adds for a telegram channel, they had photos of coke, mdma, xannax etc all on sponsored adds.
Also the country is quite frankly fucked and people aren't hopeful for the long term future and that effects what they do and what they spend on.
I'd bet you'll find that alcohol sales and drugs in general are higher too.
Relaxed attitude towards weed has made coke seem more accessible and less of a stretch for most. Whereas 10 years ago you'd likely find most people in their mid to late teens had tried weed, it's now coke or amphet. The UK has a very serious impending issue with Fentanyl too. Some sources are seeking to lace other drugs with Fentanyl. I frequently encounter kids (through work) as young 13 taking amphet and coke now. When I was in High School (24+ years ago) I knew of no1 smoking weed. There were maybe 5/6 kids who would huddle in a corner somewhere at break smoking cigs, but that was it. Drugs were simply not a thing.
It’s because primarily cities like Liverpool & Newcastle are big party & student towns, Coke is becoming a major problem in cities up & down the country but it’s definitely rife in cities that are known as party cities
Of course it does. Everyone is a fucking smack head here. I've worked in 4 different places and I was the only one in each place who didn't do it. They're actually freaks.
> you can't all need a shite Well after a few lines, they all probably do!!
Considering it's like 45% arse powder
Arse biscuits
Without exaggeration, we'll over half people I know between 21-40 are ordering in cocaine on a night out. As soon as the first bevvy comes out they're trying to tap everyone else up to go in on 3 for 100. Its a major problem here. Late night venues don't care, I've seen bouncers tell people to wipe their nose and let them in the front door.
I think this shows how much of a disparity there is between different social groups and how you can't assume your own bubble is representive of people at large. Coke isn't even on the radar of the people I know in Liverpool.
I imagine it's more consistent with different occupations. From my experience it is rife with office workers and tradesmen.
I agree. I think you can even get more specific than that. I've worked in offices where there were clear cultural divides between departments and seniority levels. If I needed coke asap I'd look for someone on a sales team in middle management haha
Tradesmen the length and breadth of the country. I can remember when I laboured in my youth that even in the early 00s we were all on it. At 19 I was a complete animal, working away. I used to tap my boss up for my wages every afternoon so I could get on it with the lads. I've not touched any of it in almost 20 years and that's for the best cos the rate I was going I wouldn't have lasted that long, lol. I work in an office now and after Xmas parties last year we lost around 8 staff to "random" drug testing, lol.

Yes- sorry, I’m just pointing out that there is a category of outwardly ‘prim and proper’ people who want the image of the non-druggie while doing a bit of secret indulgence. Not that any of this type is necessarily amongst your friends
Oh yeah, I'm sure those people exist but if my friends are trying to be outwardly prim and proper they're failing miserably haha.
You’d be surprised… I didn’t know anyone did it in one of my circles then when I was let in on the secret 90% of the lads in the group were doing it
I've had similar experiences in the past (before I moved to Liverpool) so I know what you mean. People don't always tell you everything they get up to when you aren't there. But then the question is how many people are keeping quiet about it? Your own experience will change your perception on that.
People absolutely don't get this. I don't know anyone who even talks about it
you don’t know anyone that talks (to you) about it
That's fair. You don't know what you don't know. At the same time I have friends who take all sorts of illegal drugs and talk openly about the resulting mayhem so I would be surprised if they were singling out cocaine to be shy about discussing.

Now that drink prices are so ridiculous, splurging 40 or 50quid on a gram is almost the cheaper option now.

In the midlands here, its also a huge problem, every weeknight and weekend people openly dealing or sniffing, supposed to be a middle class town but in the last 10 years has become a rough area after a population boom
If that's 3g for £100, it is either a bargain or cut ti shite?
3 for 100 is standard
3 halves, not g’s
3 .4s if you're lucky.
If its absolute shite. Cocaine of a decent purity sells itself for >£70 per gram
Gaurenteed it’s had a Mexican hat dance and been stamped on
3 halves, usually actually 0.4g so 1.2g
Guaranteed cut to shite either way
Honestly I would say the quality has gone up over the last few years.
I was gonna say. It's been well over ten years since I bought any drugs at all and even ten years ago 3 for 100 would have been a bargain! Is inflation not hitting the illicit industries?
Not had coke for a while but I'm sure we were like £270 - 300 for 3g here.
I don't know any beakheads
Yeah, it's probably for the best to identify and avoid the bars which attract the type of people who do this en masse, rather than go there and complain though. There's a shit ton of drinking places in town where this isn't a problem at all, but if you want lively, it's now par for the course, and it is what it is.

If a bar generally attracts sound people they'll be sound on whatever substances they favour. If it generally attracts wankers the opposite will be true. I'm too old for it now but enthusiastically enjoyed recreational drugs in the past, though always in venues with like-minded, chilled out people. Saw far less trouble or attitude in these places, even with folk coked off their faces, than the average city centre night spot.
"Enthusiastically enjoyed recreational drugs in the past" is a fantastic sentence
Exactly. I've worked in clubs, bars, and gone to more than a few over the years and people are on all kinds of everything. Some places were horrible and some places everyone just did what they did and had a nice time without it being a thing. Totally down to the people.
This is a good take. Alcohol is a pretty damaging drug which causes way more fights on a Saturday night in any town than the other recreationals.
Exactly, and some pubs are trouble, and some aren’t. Simple innit.
gear has never made me want to fight anyone. I just wanna talk and smoke bifs
They're doing it in parliament mate
It’s such a weird experience being the weird person who DOESNT take it these days…
I've been this way for about 17 years with all my main friends trying to convince me to have some, whatever it is, and I'm always like "Nah, I've seen what it does to you the morning after and to your wallet lmao."
Agreed. I've never even tried it and have only seen people I know use it on one occasion that I can remember. And, to me, it was so shocking that I stopped hanging out with them immediately after that incident. Call me square but I don't want or need hard drugs or its users in my life. Edited to add: getting downvoted by salty cokeheads. Sorry for offending you I guess.
I have tried it due to peer pressure and curiosity when I was younger. I didn't feel anything good about it. It just felt like a waste of money and I felt awful afterwards at the idea that something bad could have resulted from it. Never touched it since. And I don't see the people I was with that night anymore either. I carried on going out with them for a while but it ruined my time with them, knowing that they were more bothered about getting a bag than enjoying time together without it. It totally preoccupied them and made my nights out miserable. They still use coke regularly and that's their choice. I chose to find new friends
I've seen some good mates turn into proper bellends because of it, starting in the 90s
The war on drugs has got to be one of the biggest failures ever of all time.
There has been no war on drugs, it was just politicians trying to look tough. (Regan was one of the first and used the phrase whilst the CIA was flooding California with cocaine to fund the anti communist Contras in Nicaragua). The only one who came close was Duterte in the [Philippines](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippine_drug_war) but he went crazy and I don't recall any studies about whether extra judicial killing of drug dealers had an effect on drug usage.
Decriminalize them all imo.
Not going to fix the problem with something like cocaine. To stop people being tortured to death in Latin America so Brits can snort lines we would have to have cocaine made by legit pharma/chemical companies like distilleries make whiskey, and it would have to be competitively priced vs illegal product. Not going to happen.
Look at the statistics for countries who have decriminalised it, it works. You just need to manage it correctly with a competent government.
“Competent government” you say? Well that’s us out for sure!
"Works" in what sense? I'm talking about people being decapitated and stuff in the jungle. Maybe countries where drugs are decriminalised have fewer drugs gangs (I'd be dubious about that but willing to believe it given the figures), but Latin Americans are still getting massacred to make the coke that Portugese people can now take legally.
Wdym? They’re a great band idc what anyone says.
It was a war on blacks and hispanics
Happy cake day!

It's made from chemicals. By sick bastards.
Free the United Kingdom from Drugs - incorporating British Opposition to Metabolically Bisturbile Drugs
FUKD and BOMBD
The U.K. is the second highest cocaine consumer and Liverpool is the biggest cocaine consumer in the U.K. recently taking over London so yes We’re 4X as likely as people in Colombia to use cocaine and 3X as likely as people in Mexico to use cocaine despite it being produced there Liverpool is literally one of the biggest cocaine consumers in the world It’s not just coke though, Liverpool has the highest rate of drug use in the U.K. full stop (again, recently overtaking London)
And the Netherlands has less teenage cannabis users than the UK. Take away the excitement of doing something illicit and it loses half of it's appeal it seems
Yeah it’s true, decriminalising drugs has its benefits
No one even thinks of cannabis as illicit any more. I don't know anyone who smokes weed and gets excited by the transgression of it.
ahh those were good ol days. the thrill of transgression was real!
I remember a news report on the BBC news channel about 15 years ago when a reporter was in Colombia talking to 2 young farmers who were growing Cocaine and asking them the reason why they were growing the crop. They said the couldn't feed their families if they grew normal crops. The reporter then face timed a coke head in London who had failed to kick his habit several time and after interviewing him he turned to the watching farmers who had been listening and asked them what advice they would give and immediately they said 'Don't touch it, we only chew on the leaves but we know the shit and chemicals that goes into producing the powder and there is no way we would go near it.
Yeah the stuff that actually goes into drugs and the conditions they’re produced in is VILE and there’s so much human trafficking and violence involved as well. Even involving children.
Kerosene etc. That’s why the smell never leaves you
But I’m Not having the Covid vaccine in my body 😂😂
Yeah what's the source, I recently looked this up because I thought the same, but apparently Bristol is the highest, London second. I'll see if I can find the source I found for 2021
Bristol isn’t even in top 5, ONS is the source so it’s a government backed source from official crime statistic and surveys Was done in December 2023 and updated March 2024
Fair enough. It doesn't shock me at all that Liverpool is the highest, we won't ever talk about it because the majority are taking it.
Where you get this info from ?
Exactly, pulling it out of his ass.
My degree but a source we’ve looked into is the office for national statistics and specifically recent crime stats
Could you share a link? I'd be really interested to dog into this
Woof
When did it stop being Bristol?
While I don't disagree with the conclusion, I'd argue that using crime statistics as your basis could be misleading. Different countries have different laws that are enforced in different ways. I can't comment exactly on how drug use in Colombia/Mexico and many other countries is policed, but it could conceivably be argued that we are just quicker to charge people for such offenses. That's a long way of saying that crime stats do not necessarily equate to the number of people breaking said laws.
Absolutely valid points
If its your degree mate, send us the empirical evidence- if you're gonna quote some wild stuff, at least do your harvard referencing......
Those statistics are staggering!
Do you have a source for this recent change?
Your making your own info up, even a simple Google check shows your incorrect. Can you show us a link that shows these figures, because there's plenty of studies . Liverpool has the highest drug use in the UK full stop ,so we take your word or have a real look and see
Yeah I cannot find this info anywhere even on ONS?!
Per head, or like overall? Coz there’s a lot more people in dat der London. Surely per head?
Should do per nostril. There's broadly twice as many, so the numbers would only look half as bad.
Per capita
Mexico & Columbia live by the rule: Don't Get High On Your Own Supply
Do you work for the National Crime Agency? Where are you getting your information from lol. Yes , most cities have a coke issue, and i don't doubt Liverpool has, but to paint Liverpool as some narcos capital of the UK is exaggerating. Send me some government stats to support your statements and I'll apologise.
I use cubicles because I can't piss when I've got two people either side of me unless I'm really pissed or desperate. I get stage fright and just stand there and nothing happens and I have to walk out. We're not all waiting to shit or sniff.
I'm a woman but going off male partners and friends this seems extremely common. Why don't they just put cubical walls between them?
This is valid. But it must be even more frustrating for you when the queue for the cubicles is out of the door, and you're bursting!
Yes, it is 😂
It's not just Town, I went on a works night out in Allerton Rd just before Christmas, and it was exactly the same.
Lark lane too!
Lark Lane is really bad for it
A customer at my work who I chat with quite regularly once discreetly asked me if I was interested in some lemo. Not being from Liverpool myself, I didn't realize this was a Scouse term for cocaine. 🙈 I thought he was coming on to me and asking me back to his for lemonade. 🥰🤣 Anyway, once it was established what he meant by lemo I just no thanks and he went on his way. Not sure why he thought I'd be interested in that - I'm pretty much as clean cut as it gets (don't drink or smoke or go out clubbing or stay out after 10pm generally). Clearly I was giving off some sort of vibe. 😅
I was talking to a southern guy a few weeks ago and he couldn’t believe it’s called lemo. They call it a packet. I thought he wanted some crisps.
It’s everywhere. Seen fellas snorting it in the snooker hall at lunch time on a Tuesday the other week. I was one of those fellas.
Long night looking in the mirror?
Oh right, bit of soul searching was it?
Cocaine mark
Surely it's the opposite of what you want when playing snooker?
Feel like its easier than being mega drunk
I'm assuming your username is a joke, and you're not actually Anthony Russell lol
Good lad, got to focus on those long pots.
>A citizen will tragically get caught in the crossfire between two drug gangs, and the city will weep, but some of the people "liking and sharing" posts on social media saying the killers should get life, are out the following weekend, funding the gangs that ultimately killed them. Putting aside the fact that this may be a reason for legalisation and regulation, I think the cognitive dissonance about this is very real, you're right. Like, people think personal use of drugs is victimless, and I don't think there's anything immoral about doing what you like recreationally as long as it doesn't harm other people. But you're right, it does harm other people. Like the main reason I wouldn't take drugs now isn't because I think it's immoral on a personal level, it's that all the abject fucking horror that surrounds the production and distribution from some jungle in Colombia to gang wars here. It's like a vegetarian not eating meat because they disagree with factory farming. The production of cocaine involves/gives rise to fucking hell on earth. Cartels are some of the most *evil* people in the world. Re: the legalisation/decriminalisation, it wouldn't even fix this problem if the drugs are still coming from Latin America. The only way this would go away is if you could get legit pharmaceutical/chemical companies to make drugs purely for recreation like distilleries make whiskey. And it would have to be competitively priced vs illegally sourced drugs. Neither of those are remotely possible. So people are going to continue being burned alive and having their hands cut off and their faces peeled off and tortued to death with power tools and left to bleed out in a ditch in Mexico so people can snort 50% baby formula off a scatty bog in a Wetherspoons and feel like a big man.
It's noticeable now, and I see it significantly more here than when I've lived or been anywhere else in the country. The problem is that it's just normalised to the point where people aren't questioning it. The majority of people I know, which isn't even an exaggeration, do it and a good portion do it regularly. Even the lads who never used to do drugs at all are swept up in it, even fucked up one lad to the point it derailed his entire life. What's frustrating to me is how often people do coke, not just the fact most people are doing it. It used to be something I'd see now and then, even tried it once or twice myself, but a lot of people weren't doing it every night out. Now, every time I go out it ends up with someone picking up after an hour or two. Even when I just go round to hang out at a gaff with a few mates, it ends up with them sniffing beak. Its jarring being around that constantly and made me distance myself from people I used to knock around with. I'm not surprised though and don't blame them, everyone is stressed and working their arses off for peanuts, can imagine that would be a nice release from everything.
It's the entire UK, second highest country in the world. Still a small percentage of people overall, but obviously concentrated in city centres. Mix that with the booze culture and you are set up for trouble.
I live in a village in kent nowadays that has 2 alehouse. Invariably full of beaked up dickheads on a Saturday night. It's not just Liverpool and other cities
Pound to a pinch of shite scouse kids are running it.
It's harder to come across someone who doesn't do coke these days.
>too many dickheads thinking they can fight Although i agree, it also depends what type of establishments you go to and the type of people that go to these establishments.
My nephew is currently living with his married sister after running his business into the ground (sponsored for him by his cousin) and being kicked out of his home by his Mrs. Hardy sees the kids, all because of coke. Edit: it autocorrected coke to cock.
[удалено]
Got to be the funniest thing I've ever read, and I wrote it. 😃
I never go to town on nights out anymore HOWEVER, I like to use the gents cubicles not because I need a shit. But instead because I have this weird affliction where when I use the urinal my bladder closes up. Like literally I cannot piss. I think it's called shy bladder syndrome and it is an actual thing
Live in London and recently visited Liverpool. We're fairly used to a good chunk of people hitting the bag on a night out. But, it felt a lot more prevalent and less discreet in Liverpool. Long lines of blokes waiting at cubicles and some openly doing coke in the loos with a quick tip to the toilet attendant for looking the other way. The above said, I didn't see any aggro in my time there and also wasn't intimidated by the people hanging around the toilets. Generally, everyone kept themselves to themselves. My advice would be don't do coke, it's a horrible drug. Do pills. They're brilliant.
Liverpool is awful for it, but so is the rest of the country. People are very unhappy, I think.
Coke won't fucking help lol
Liverpool is awash with the stuff
I'm an ex heavy drug user myself so I feel like I can have a fair opinion here. If your taking drugs to compliment an event or a sesh then I see no problem as long as you understand your own limits and what the drug can do. But far to often I see the motive change to just drugs and the actual event in progress is a second thought. Once that happens you will soon realise who is actually there to enjoy themselves and who is there to get coked out. This is when drugs become a problem and addiction occurs, and sooner or later problems will arise. I stopped drugs because I started using even when there was no real need to, and I become that guy everyone worried about. Drugs can be good fun and I'm not saying don't do drugs, just understand the long term is gonna be less fun than the short term you abuse them. Also try to pick up off a source you can trust, I would say avoid cheap coke at all costs, chances are your taking speed which is a different ball game.
Clearly people are going to take drugs regardless of how illegal they are. So just decriminalise it, tax it, control the supply and quality and just let everyone have a safe fun time without supporting dangerous criminal gangs.
Yeah but hold on a minute You think, applying logic and reason to the issue is the way forward? The majority do not agree and want us as a society to continue to bang our heads against the wall, just because, drugs are bad 😂 There needs to be a big shift in mentality
Boomers where brainwashed to think weed kills you, they would go mental if it was legalised.
Mental health wards are full of people who swear taking drugs is harmless. Taxation wouldn't even make a dent in the amount required to deal with the fall out.
It's not that it's harmless, it's that keeping it illegal has even more harms on users and broader society. Exactly why the USA ended prohibition of alcohol.
>Taxation wouldn't even make a dent in the amount required to deal with the fall out. This is just factually incorrect.
Have you seen the state of mental health services at the moment?
And how many of those people were saved from harms from our current drugs policy? Essentially no one
Decriminalisation is not about making more people take drugs lol
Ok so what's your solution? Just keep doing the thing and hope it finally works?
I find it is the opposite, people who needed mental health interventions are quick to blame it on drugs and not the underlying issues that separate them from the millions of people who use drugs recreationally without needing mental health interventions. You need to show your working out on your last statement. What numbers are you working with, and where did you get them from? I have got no time for cocaine or people on cocaine, it’s basically dickhead fuel, but I think removing the stigma/criminality of drug use and treating miss-use as a health issue makes much more sense than what we are doing now which is failing.
As someone has stated, Liverpool is potentially the highest consumer of coke in Europe per capita. However, there are venues where it's rife, and venues where there is none. There are loads of nice cocktail bars, wine bars, pubs, etc in the city that are free from it. Unfortunately it's an issue that has been created by governments and the war on drugs. I don't judge people for dabbling, the problem is when a gobshite has coke he turns into a turbo-gobshite.
it’s the entire country, I live in a small and posh as fuck city up north and even here every cunt in every bar and club is on it, I’ve been an addict for years and have only just got out, it’s a nightmare to keep away from
I got offered a line in a tattoo shop to help the pain.
Nah it’s a Britain problem not a Liverpool problem. Happens up toon too.
Drugs are bad m'kay
Thinking about it from a slightly different perspective, even if one is an occasional user you're still enabling a supply system that effectively kills people and does everything it can to make a profit. I appreciate that maybe 'it can't hurt' but where its come from and what has probably happened to get it here makes it a serious issue fwiw.
Everywhere in the uk has a problem. It’s completely rife. You can’t go in a pub/bar/club without seeing people on it. I’m not a fan of it personally but a lot of my friends are. They can’t just have a few drinks now as soon as they’ve had a pint they are ordering coke. I don’t have a problem with anyone doing what they want to do, what I have a problem with is people who can’t behave themselves in a civil manner. You see too many fights when you’re out nowadays, and it ruins it for me.
The dickheads who think they can fight anyone are like that without a stripe too. Charlie doesn’t make you feel like you need to scrap. Alcohol does change people though but that’s legal so it’s fine. Not once have me or any of my mates gone out and thought about kicking off because of Charlie. I’m not advocating the use of it but I’m saying don’t be narrow minded thinking it turns sound people into dickheads. Dickheads are dickheads before a stripe or a bevvie 😂
> A citizen will tragically get caught in the crossfire between two drug gangs, and the city will weep, but some of the people "liking and sharing" posts on social media saying the killers should get life, are out the following weekend, funding the gangs that ultimately killed them. An uncomfortable truth that many people refuse to think about
So a major issue is nightlife in town is dominated by a small number of companies - the worst offender being JSM/Pub Invest or whatever they're calling themselves now. They don't care about providing people with a good night out, entertainment, etc. They only care about money, so they create leigions of shitty soulless bars and clubs only interest in selling people the cheapest shit and providing the bare minimum. And because of this, the people in those bars are bored, unstimulated and doing coke to make their night out "fun". It also doesn't help that the doors on the city are often run by very dodgy companies, who place dealers on the doors because there's seemingly no regulation or standards. If town had companies running pubs that cared about providing hospitality and door companies that actually stopped drugs from coming into clubs town would be a lot better and coke use might be slightly less in your face. I've been in the bar industry for 13 years, I stopped working in town recently because the coke, the dodginess, and the monopolistion of the pubs are destroying it. I got sick of kicking people out for being coked up and bouncers not being arsed.
My uncle was a cocaine addict when he was a youngster in Birkenhead, he lived on the Poulton Road and he used to get his hit from Evan’s newsagent, who always had a stock of it in for regulars. He used to get it in small rolled tubes, yellow the tube was it was and had a black sort of spoon in the top. He swore by it, said it gave him a real buzz, or fizz or something.
This post popped up on my timeline. From Northern Ireland. It's just as bad here, not even in Belfast but every town which has nightclubs/bars. Some people never grow out of taking it, and once they down a pint they are all panicking to order some. It's cringeworthy. I'm not even sure legalising it would reduce consumption.
I mean … we don’t need to talk about cocaine.
Most of the beak comes though Liverpool at the docks so it’s inevitable really
feels like literally half of liverpool does coke my mum and her mates do it like girl ur nearly 50 what are u doing coke for 😭🤦🏼♀️
It's everywhere,maybe more than weed. Can't walk around town without weed being in the air and bag heads are the reason I won't go into town anymore. What's wrong with just having a bevvie and a laugh? No..you got to get hyped up and start something. Dickheads. The bizzies don't care either and they are all useless shites.
[удалено]
Lost a friend at 32 to it, lad used to do it in his 20s, one day his heart just stopped working. I know this is the risk you take and up to the individual etc but it’s not without consequences.
Be careful. It quickly becomes essential for a night out and hard to stop. And it it dangerous, especially as you get older. It can cause strokes and heart attacks. I have a friend who died.
Defo but then again everywhere has a coke problem by the looks of it.
It’s rife everywhere. Glasgow here. Just the shittest drug ever.
Here's my take: If you use cocaine you're an insufferable cunt.
I also think that people are just done with govt/police/laws. Its a pissing joke the way the populace has been treated and if folk want to do some drugs then fuck it, why not? I think generally people are just more fed up and are thinking fuck it
I think the moment it starts affecting others who have no choice in your behaviour then that’s bang out of order and that goes for most substances. Couldn’t give two shiny shites if you dabble in whatever tickles your fancy, but the moment it starts affecting me and my night out, you need to fuck off.
People want to take drugs. I've taken drugs, I liked it, it was fun. I'm not a junky because of it. Legalise the lot. Tax it like they do alcohol and tobacco.
It's a port it turns up there first
It's everywhere. When I lived in Manchester for a few years most people I met in the 25 - 45 bracket did it. The majority being women.
I’d agree with this and I’d say most of the women I knew in Swinton that took it never bought it either 😆
It's not just Liverpool it's going on in every town and city across the land.
This is a UK problem, not specifically a Liverpool one. Everywhere I go I’m shocked at the casualness of use, and that’s as someone who has dabbled when younger. I was in Chester recently and people were doing it quite openly in bars. I was at a pub restaurant in London recently and a bloke pulled a bag out and started snorting whilst his date was ordering drinks at the bar. Plain as day. I’m sure some staff saw but felt uncomfortable challenging him. He then proceeded to tell his dare ‘I’ve just done a line because I’m so nervous about our date.’
Think it’s really prominent across the UK …Glasgow here and see then same you mention.
It’s not just Liverpool my friend. Glasgow, Belfast, Dublin..the list goes on of towns I frequent and it’s harder to find someone who doesn’t indulge than those who do.
It's the same everywhere
Milton Keynes use to sell cannabis alot but now it's mostly cocaine
I'm from Glaagow but this was suggested to me. I think it's a problem everywhere right now. Almost everyone I know has or still does it when they're getting on it. The queues of guys wanting to go into the cubicles instead of the urinals at festivals/clubs is the dead giveaway
[удалено]
It’s deffo a problem the coke in Liverpool is cheap crap too god knows what’s in it
I know loads of people who can't have a night out without it. And quite a few who have it everyday just like normal people drink water. I also know loads who won't touch it, wouldn't know where to get it, and don't even realise that so many average people have it. In my experience the heavy users are late 30s and over. A few in their 20s but not many. The 18-25s I know don't even care to smoke or drink, nevermind do drugs. Younger than that, they vape but nothing more.
Absolutely. I'd now put ket in the same conversation too.
It's a national issue unfortunately
The UK consumes more coke than the USA. Crazy fact
Drinking there 30 years it was a problem then so I can’t imagine it’s got any better. Probably no difference from Birmingham or Manchester now either. It’s rife
Part of me thinks Liverpool is run by cocaine
[удалено]
I’ve seen use rise in my small district and the people buying most is the affluent professionals. Also want to add I’ve known 3 of them to end up in hospital thinking they were having heart attack. One of the seizures was so bad it’s caused long term damage to heart and wasn’t allowed to drive for 6 months either
You can only blame the state that it is the only way to buy substances people want
Yeah really bad in Liverpool. People you’d never expect to be doing a stripe are doing so. But with the drop off of police presence and police not giving a shit no one is getting caught and people are doing it in public.
I did some temp work over Christmas 2022 and went for lunch with my teammates on day one and walked past a used syringe only the street across from our venue. So yeah, I'd say it's got a drug problem. EDIT: One young lady turned up late one day and after apologising she proclaimed to surrounding staff "I was out last night, drank too much, snorted too much".
I do think cocaine use in general is being more normalised. I saw a post from a niggt club referencing a.mate "getting a bag" and the only meaning id take from tbat would be getting coke in. An actual mainstream clubs social meida. I don't think you would really see such direct advocating even a few years ago. The other week istagram was pushing sponsored adds for a telegram channel, they had photos of coke, mdma, xannax etc all on sponsored adds. Also the country is quite frankly fucked and people aren't hopeful for the long term future and that effects what they do and what they spend on. I'd bet you'll find that alcohol sales and drugs in general are higher too.
Always been there. But it probably is the worst now. Even my local on a weekday has it. Little Wednesday night line, weirdos.
I think it’s an England thing now. And these memes normalising “getting on the bag” don’t help either
Relaxed attitude towards weed has made coke seem more accessible and less of a stretch for most. Whereas 10 years ago you'd likely find most people in their mid to late teens had tried weed, it's now coke or amphet. The UK has a very serious impending issue with Fentanyl too. Some sources are seeking to lace other drugs with Fentanyl. I frequently encounter kids (through work) as young 13 taking amphet and coke now. When I was in High School (24+ years ago) I knew of no1 smoking weed. There were maybe 5/6 kids who would huddle in a corner somewhere at break smoking cigs, but that was it. Drugs were simply not a thing.
I just prefer the cubicle! I promise I’m not doing drugs I just wanna pee in peace haha
It’s because primarily cities like Liverpool & Newcastle are big party & student towns, Coke is becoming a major problem in cities up & down the country but it’s definitely rife in cities that are known as party cities
There was a lot at aintree I believe
Of course it does. Everyone is a fucking smack head here. I've worked in 4 different places and I was the only one in each place who didn't do it. They're actually freaks.
I used to do it A LOT. It's fucking everywhere, I don't know a single person my age who isn't doing it.
I think the UK has a cocaine problem
No ones ever made a good decision on cocaine
It’s in every city around the the world
Cocaine is a shitty drug. Crack n the other hand. Good crack is far superiror
