I loved this film as a student.
The constant drinking and drug use seemed to to be nothing less than heroic at the time.
I revisited the film ten years later, and it was like watching a completely different movie. Far from being heroic, it had become utterly tragic - motivated not by joy as I had originally seen it, but by despair.

Exactly my experience
once you get past the drinking games shenanegins, it becomes a properly tragic but beautiful film about male friendship.

I never saw them as having fun, even as a young stoner , they looked pretty tragic to me.
The only time I ever wanted to be them was the scene with Danny when they return to their flat.
