What was the author of Alice In Wonderland on?

Obviously, the author (I think Lewis Carrol? correct me if I'm wrong) was on LSD, but you think any other type of drug. Perhaps heroine, or maybe cocaine? What are your thoughts?

Through the Looking Glass is based off of the ravings of a lunatic named Alice. She was a serial killer that Lewis Carrol visited frequently in the insane asylum. It is her twisted reality that the story is based on.

Alice in Wonderland is the movie version.

*EDIT---Your post title makes me think that you are on some sort of mentally impairing drug.

Oh, I thought that "Through the Looking Glass" was the sequal. I forgot to add the word "Adventure" in "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland".

I think that "Through the Looking Glass" is the first one. I could be wrong but I'm fairly certain that it is.

Many brilliant books were written under the influence of drugs, from "Frankenstein's Monster" to many of the earlier works of Stephen King.

To destroy a being whilst they are unrepentant is to preserve the being in body and spirit, so long as this remains true the people of the world shall always be free.

"Kubla Khan" and "The Sun Also Rises" were too.

He worked in a hat factory and his brain got messed up from the hat glue sorry to disappoint but that is the answer.

EDIT:After reading my previous post it seems a bit of a joke but I will elaborate. After a class "back in the day" in witch we actually looked at as much info as we could dig up about Lewis Carrol as well as reading the book this actually appeared to be a reasonable assumption. The mad hatter appeared to be based (at least partially) on himself. He did apparently work in a hat factory and suffered the ill effects of the toxic glue they used. To sum up our research he was a glue sniffing pedophile. I'll let you research the pedophile part if you truly feel like it.

Now that is just great, another thing besides zombies trying to gnaw away at our brains: Alice in wonderland. (I will not read this to my children, nor let them see any TV, movie, or event concerning, relating, or pertaining this story)

He wasn't a pedophile, per say. It was in style at that time to look at/make pictures of nude little kids. *

EDIT:
*Because of their supposed, and probably real at that time period, innocence.

So, children are innocent because they have a limited world view yada yada yada; Why did they have to be naked?

No......not quite, there are so many things wrong with this.. 1. The adventures of Alice and the Wonderland was published in 1865 and Through the Looking Glass was published in 1871. So the squeal is... Through the Looking Glass. 2. You watch to much TV. Alice wasn't a serial killer in an aslyum. Warehouse 13 is a TV show, it's not real. However there was an Alice in which the stories may have been based on, her name is Alice Liddel.

Many of the themes in all of his works are based on logic puzzles and everyday board games. Some of the more fantastical elements of his stories may have stemmed from a medical condition, it is theorized that Dodgson had epilepsy. He never worked in a factory and while the pedophile aspect of his life has been popularized by many authors it has never been proven. Little known fact, He invented Scrabble.
