If you wanna be cute I guess you can say caffeine. But, I'm really looking for what the average boomer would consider a drug. For me, its psilocybin mushrooms a few times a year. Weed here and there too

Alcohol. It’s easy to get and I know how I behave and what my limits are. Usually comes in a tasty package too

Thats fair. I always pick weed over booze because I consider all the calories in booze. But, then I smoke weed and eat 4 dinners anyway so its a wash.

At least the 4 dinners aren’t empty calories, so there’s that. They actually contain stuff that’s good for you. So not really a wash. Plus excess eating doesn’t damage your body to nearly the same degree as a similar number of calories in alcohol form, you can just exercise it away, or shift eating habits to account for it.
