He usually was high on drugs
Sometimes he had a heavy booze

To be honest he had fuck-all to lose

Někdy chlastem až oněměl

There is an idiom of "to booze oneself mute" in Czech, so "Sometimes he boozed himself mute" would work nicely, especially in the following context:

Na drogách skoro pořád byl
Někdy chlastem až oněměl
Koneckonců jak smažka žil
Upřímně hovno co ztratit měl
Example sentence:

"Ožrali jsme se do němoty"
