He might be on "alcohol and marijuana".

Children with troublesome background and tough conditions are more likely to turn into drug addicts and substance abuse, in Drew’s case his symptoms reveal that he is on drugs and most likely above mentioned. A strong relation with parents is primary factor which can save any kid from this situation which in this case is not available at all.
