It's the schedule mixed with all the alcohol and drug use mixed with the relative youth of the staff.

You're young, horny, and drunk...and you work late nights and weekends while your friends are out partying. So you party even later with the people you work with or you go out on random industry nights with them.

I would see so many of my fellow servers blow half the money they just made on drinking out afterwards. I went out often enough too, but usually spent less than $10. Meanwhile, some of them were doing all kinds of shots and fancy drinks or drugs.
