What's with junkies drinking Yops all the time?

Does it help the heroin come down or what?

Handier than yoghurts.
In the winter it's soup.
Keeps them thin i guess. That and the heroin.

Probably cheap form of dinner.

It's quite hard to get opiod constipation if ya aren't eating solid food

And believe me, the constipation from opiods can be fúcking awful!
Speaking of which, must get some yops in!

I work full time and I usually go for a cheaper alternative Love yops but they’re so expensive!!!

racso1975

Fills you up and its full of sugar and its cheap. Also easier on your stomach then solid food. So no cramps or constipation

JohnnyFlash

They always have lovely runners as well.

Always Tired

Maybe they think it says Yob and think that it's for me.

My buddy who was a junkie always drank 7up and stuff like that he said he just craved sugary drinks more on the skag. They also can have stomach issues especially nausea and constipation so maybe it coats the stomach lining a wee bit. Or maybe theyre just easy to steal.

Cheaper than Mooju?

It's not Yop in those little cartons , it's their methadone.
Stops Gardai hassling them.

Once you ya Yop you just can't stop! Kinda like the heroin now that I think about it.

Lovely? :eek:

Expensive alright but there's a reason nobody I know has bought a pair of airbubbled runners since they were 12 years old. Junktastic!

It's unrelated to the topic but I passed a guy curled up on his side sleeping in an alleyway at 7 in the morning, wearing the brand new Yeezys, I think they were going for around €750 at the time. They could have been knock offs or he might not have been homeless just drunk or high. But I was wondering what was going on there.

I assumed methadone would be injected too, you drink it?

How people work in the service industry serving these people is beyond me, pure wastes of space on the earth.

It's nice to have a choice, not everybody does

I think i can explain the runners.

They're basically status symbols.

And they'll spend a whole weeks dole to buy a stolen pair.

Yer Da sells Avon

I'm quite fond of milk-based drinks... I brought a six-pack of strawberry Mooju to a house party one night.

Not so fond of heroin though.

I'm on my phone so can't put up the Savage Eye clip. Somebody else please?

Is it Forisip? Its a high calorie drink that looks like a Yop bottle. Probably given free to stop malnutrition.

That was in my head too.

But i remember rte interviewed a junkie saying how hard life was on the streets. "I don't always buy heroin.. sometimes i buy soup"

They are probably drinking fortisip, which is a nutritional supplement used for malnutrition - it looks similar to a yop bottle

Cheers bobble..lol

Yeah it’s a medicine that from my experience of being around dozens of junkies doesn’t really do anything. Even my brother who is the biggest junkie scumbag piece of shít i’ve ever known sells his weekly dose of doctor prescribed methadone that he has been getting for years and uses the money to buy more heroin. And the people he sells it to either sell it on to someone else or take it in between heroin fixes because they are all hopeless junkies too.

Do junkies get dole or do they just rob old ladies for money to buy drugs?

It is that and has been said heroin messes the stomach up so this is kind of like relief to them too. My brother must drink at least 2 litres of milk a day.

Both, though the robbing isn’t exclusively of old women they are just the easiest targets.

Definitely not. Methadone is giving in the clinic in the morning. They drink it in front of the medic & don't get to take any with them. The daily dose is so small it can fit in a shot glass. Even if they managed to steal a bottle they wouldn't be sipping it all day.

I have historically seen a lot of them drink lucozade. I always thought they were using it to drink alcohol (because of the packaging). Must be the Sugar. Although Lucozade is ruined now.

Erm , I was joking .
I work now in homeless services and previously in drug services .
I work more mainly with heroin addicts with a good few being chronic rough sleepers.
Its possible to get your methadone as a takeaway where you don't have to take it in front of a medic.

The yop being drank is to allay constipation , opiates block up the bowels.

I know some are real scumbags but honestly they are more to be pitied. They bring more misery on themselves and their families than they do to most victims. I'm not excusing them or their crimes but they don't even enjoy the drugs when it gets in on them

They cost the state a fortune in them being non productive idiots who will amount to nothing for their entire lives, they should have an option to check in by pressing a red button to wipe them out, bury them at sea.

I'm autistic & don't always pick up on jokes in comments. My mistake.

I've never noticed the yops but I see them every morning near Connelly Station with cups of coffee. There is a clinic near there and you'll see them either side of the road after getting their dose. I assume they get a free coffee on the way out of the door. I see another bunch on the quays at the bottom of the hill at Christ Church.

We have over 730 deaths per year directly from drugs in Ireland. That's around twice the amount of people killed on our roads each year. Very few junkies live long lives.

That's probably kind. Why prolong the misery? Fairly certain being a junkie changes their DNA.

I have many pairs of air Max 90s can't stop wearing them. The best trainer in my eyes that Nike has made.
Look more retro these days than skanger.

punisher5112

Nike smell like cat pee, junkies smell like pee, wonder is it the runners.....

Yop is just a cover for whiskey or vodka.....

Self imposed death, like people choosing to continue to smoke after 1980 when detailed warnings appeared on the packs and then complaining they got lung cancer.

Nope, it can either come in liquid or tablet form. Liquid is better as they cant sell it on afterwards say the dispensing technicians or pharmacist. Crazy shet they have to put up with!!!!
