Almost to the bottom of this page.

This article is the one I've referenced, and is definitely interesting reading once you've finished the book.

And yes, he's an SAE. I'm pretty sure he didn't mention it because he was trying to set-up his reputation as an outcast hardass, not an overindulged frat boy.

Yeah, I did read the article after the post mentioning it. As I said though, it didn't matter to me whether it was real when I read it. It does sound like there are some people who took it too seriously (who are going with the phrase "hold on", etc). I thought it read like fiction anyway, not a self help book on how everybody should handle addiction. More like One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
