Which is to say what, exactly? I don't think it would be possible to use cocaine much more than Scudder used alcohol. He had repeated blackouts, sometimes for days at a time, and ended up hospitalized at least once that I can think of. Are you implying that Holmes wasn't an addict? Because Scudder unquestionably is.
