On Twitter he mentioned "oxy" i.e. oxycodone, the primary ingredient in the opioids Oxycontin and Percocet, two infamously dangerous drugs to abuse - they've often been called "hillbilly heroin" for this reason. On its own, oxycodone causes slowed breathing (respiratory depression) that gets exponentially worse if it's mixed with a GABAergic like alprazolam/Xanax or alcohol. If he gets addicted to oxycodone there is virtually zero chance he survives to the end of this year so he really needs to get his head on straight with this substance in particular.I haven't heard Ralph sipping alcohol, and he was talking without a pause. I'm not an expert, but what pills can fuck you like that?
Percocet also contains acetaminophen (Tylenol etc) along with the oxycodone in the same pill, which has its own separate deleterious interaction with alcohol on top of its neurological effects, so depending on which formulation he has the risks could be even higher than we know. This is a dark path he's stepping onto.
