if you are talking about a girl who like clubs, discotheques,techno and to take a lot of pills all night long pastillera is the perfect word, at least in Spain

I think mancebo means youth. I am looking for the act of taking pills. I know it is extremely difficult, since it is slang and there is no proper way of saying this.

Thanks.
