Stephen King : Stephen King's past drug use.

In the early 1970s, King developed a drinking problem which would plague him for more than a decade. Soon after Carrie's release in 1974, King's mother died of uterine cancer; King has written of his severe drinking problem at this time, stating that he was drunk while delivering the eulogy at his mother's funeral. King's addictions to alcohol and other drugs were so serious during the 1980s that, as he acknowledged in On Writing in 2000, he can barely remember writing Cujo. Shortly after the novel's publication, King's family and friends staged an intervention, dumping on the rug in front of him evidence of his addictions taken from his office including beer cans, cigarette butts, grams of cocaine, Xanax, Valium, NyQuil, dextromethorphan (cough medicine) and marijuana. As King related in his memoir, he then sought help, quit all drugs (including alcohol) in the late 1980s, and has remained sober since. The first novel he wrote after becoming sober was Needful Things.

Damn, he liked to party.

Cujo was fantastic. I'll always remember reading that book. I remember reading Needful Things as well. I didn't care for it that much although I was fascinated by the concept of anarchy and the way it unraveled a peaceful town.

He's trying to piss off Stephen King fans as if itty needed anymore enemies on board.

Interesting. Never knew King had a drinking and drug problem. Always pictured him as a nerdy teetotaler type.
