The "middle class" abuses alcohol for the same reasons.
...and we have much more disposable income. Its pretty simple... the rich people that run in my circles work very hard all week. Their reward is doing a weekend binge on cocaine and strippers. Its the old work hard, play hard mentality. By the time Mon rolls around again, they transform back into working functional members of society. These guys been doin it for years. It's like having a few beers on a Saturday.

Both groups may face different underlying factors that contribute to substance abuse, such as access to resources, mental health issues, and societal pressures. The reasons for drug abuse are complex and can vary based on individual circumstances.
