If people increase alcohol and drug abuse in their life then it becomes almost impossible to maintain healthy intimate relationship as the substances causing addiction create obsession in your life which eliminates the chances for a healthy sexual partner.

Such people surprisingly wake up with total strangers with complete lack of memory as they have no idea of what happened a night before. Such individual know the true need of in intimacy and love but they are too much involved in their selfish lifestyle that they keep their greed above their feelings and they create a greedy habit of promiscuous sex with impulsive and poor life decisions. In such scenarios the person becomes vulnerable to sexually transmitted diseases and unplanned pregnancy.
