Constant modification of your behavior seems like a bad idea to me. Coffee probably can be used like that I guess, I don't drink any.
I've tried a handful of recreational drugs and that created that opinion actually. I messed with my brain enough to prefer my own identity I guess. Also enabled me to understand why my schizophrenic friend ended up chosing suicide over heavy medication under which you are barely yourself anymore. Guess I'm amazed that one would prefer his artificial self, especially over petty details that can be strategized for.
Again, these are personal choices that people make. You don't need to understand why someone would choose to make these decisions. They make them because they feel like it benefits them.
Your friend opted for suicide instead of medication. They decided that was the better choice, but it's not a choice that everyone else needs to (or should) opt for.
There's absolutely no need for the condescension. Details that seem petty to you may not be petty for others. People might prefer the self that they are using medication and I'll point out again that medication is ways in which your body metabolizes and utilizes things you ingest in your body just as different vitamins, minerals, protein, fat, and carbohydrates are used in order to maintain or improve functionality of various body parts. The separation of these is an arbitrary one that you choose to make.
