Looks like he's drunk again.
How are you guys so sure about the drinking? I really do want to understand this.
With his retard bux being sucked up by the nursing home, how much money would he have to get drunk? He definitely can't afford the finest martinis in town at Bistango. Probably not even a 40 of Bud Ice.
There's a few permanent street people in my area, and the local stores won't sell them alcohol. Was in my local Rite-Aid, and one of the guys was at the register trying to buy beer, and the clerk refused to sell it to him, and had to call the police to get him to leave.
I'm not sure, and I'm not going to try to convince anyone that Lucas Colby Werner is drunk. He may've smoked a joint after an all night crying jag. He may be totally sober. I doubt that, though.
...there is no anger in his voice. He is disconnected from it, but still holding on to it. That, in my experience, is a dude girded with the numbness of liquor. The combination of speech patterns, and emotional tenor. Ultimately, it doesn't matter.
@WonderWino brought up that he sounded drugged. He's getting agitated/crying the med-tech gives him something to calm him down and also causes the slurred speech. Could be a possibility too.
This is a good thought. I could totally see that happening, because don't they hand out his medication as well, I mean for everybody in the facility? As in, the medication that he was put back on, whether it's metformin for his diabetes, or depakote for his bipolar, that's supply medication wouldn't be in his hands. I would imagine they give it to everybody in those little tiny wax paper cups. Or maybe I just watched One flew over the cuckoo's nest too many times.

Speaking of which, knowing how adverse lucas is to taking his meds and how obsessed with food he is, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to find out they slip him such meds to calm him down the same way they do to dementia patients that refuse meds - crush the pills, mix them with a shot glass full of pudding and feed him the pudding. After all, lucas himself has pointed out that all his mother had to do to break his concentration, make him forget what he is doing and get him focused on her was start offering him food
I'm pretty sure they're not allowed to administer medication against his will in a group home, which is what this would be. More's the pity.
Lucas has no friends and his family doesn't come see him so why does this matter? Also, I'm fairly confident that every female on the planet finds him disgusting and repulsive so it's not like he'd be bringing a date back to his room. It's hilarious that he still thinks this is a possibility. It's even funnier that he thinks he can get a perfect and attractive young woman when an old and ugly 400+ lb woman who is missing half of her teeth would still reject him.
They absolutely can administer many drugs against the will of residents in those places. They function the same way that nursing homes do in that regard - that is, they have a mandate to protect the residents and to ensure they are protected from themselves. Every one of those places requires residents to agree to being medicated in such situations. Its all in the paperwork that gets signed when you enter such a facility
I'd say with an agreement like that it wouldn't be necessary to slip him a med without him knowing. If he's gets agitated they would just tell him he needs to take the med and I think Lucas would take it.
I don't think the slowness/slurring of speech shows up in all the videos he's done in the mornings.
