Just goes to show how poorly real life translates into a good story!

No-one likes to see the hero's failings being graphically portrayed - it makes it far less likely that the hero will be credible on the way up again! However, the alcoholism was fairly strongly alluded to in THAB. Come to think about it, 2 years was dealt with by the passage of 3 buses in about 10 seconds - so an exhaustive study of ML's life it was not!!

Nevertheless, he did make it - let's hope he doesn't make the return journey again!
