Given the effects of cocaine, it's highly unlikely that he got any meaningful sleep the night before showing up to pilot a long-haul flight. That means we're talking no meaningful sleep for at least 36 hours.
I'd think no sleep for over 36 hours would leave most people fatigue impaired - even if the effects of the coke had worn off (which is unlikely that they had).
That he was then stupid enough to brag about it to a fellow crew member just reinforces that he wasn't exactly firing on all cylinders...
