Jay Gatsby became rich through involvement in organized crime and bootlegging during the Prohibition era.

Scott Fitzgerald's novel "The Great Gatsby."

In "The Great Gatsby," Gatsby is obsessed with Daisy in several ways.

In the movie "The Great Gatsby," Nick throws the cufflinks in the water as a symbolic gesture of his disillusionment with the wealthy and extravagant lifestyle exemplified by Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan. It represents his rejection of materialism and artificiality, and his desire to distance himself from the superficial world he had been drawn into.

In F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby", the Nouveau Riche are people with newly acquired wealth. They generally came from either middle class or poor backgrounds and in many cases have more money than the old money crowd, but no background in it. So, they stick out like sore thumbs showing none of the self confidence and social graces those who have become accustomed to privilege can enjoy.
No, But I do throw GHB in drinks.
