> Remains one of the few contexts where nerds would do drugs Leaving aside the nitpicking of "umm actually, caffeine is a drug" (I infer from context that you mean "hard"/illegal drugs, which is reasonable), this one doesn't quite ring true for me. There's a particularly flavour of nerdery that views drugs as a means of hacking one's own body - "bio-hacking" is already a bit cringey and over-used, but it's not inaccurate. There's significant intersection between the nerdier people I know, and those who are interested in chemically expanding their experiences and perceptions. Maybe that's a more-recent development? (For context, I'm in my early 30's)
