We do know that Powell's best army buddy, Sam Mitchell, stated after the war that Powell, "didn't much like liquor" - and as for drugs? Who knows, but I doubt that unless he purchased over the counter stuff for dental/tooth pain, or was given such in military hospitals, that he did not use drugs either. JWB also had access to drugs - but I don't believe that they made use of them, other than simply smuggling them for use within the Confederate army.
