Peter Pan

it's about a little boy who never grew up

hard means addictive and debilitating.

I think he means drugs that do more than just lower social inhibitions and make the room spin a little. Alcohol doesn't really do much of anything to you in terms of altering consciousness. It's a lot closer to a sleeping pill than to LSD.

Shakespeare's dramas

I've got some terrible news, user. You were the brainlet all along.
