    You might have two or three people in Westeros who can defeat him. Well maybe 4 and that’s The Great Jon Umber who’s closest in strength to him, the Hound, Jamie, and Oberyn. A maybe for Ser Barristan Selma at his current age

    Well, having excruciating migraine headaches myself, I totally get his love for Milk of the Poppy. It's a horrible pain and can also cause someone to be seriously irritable.
    Milk of the Poppy is basically the extract of poppy plants. It contains all sorts of alkaloids that are including in opium, morphine, etc. Once you get used to taking it, he probably couldn't stop as it's very addictive.
