Somebody should remove the part about Viking Berserkers going into a drug induced state. While a popular idea in fiction it has been discredited.

Lord of the Rings quote
I don't recall reading "awoken the inherited berserker-rage of his ancestors" in the Lord of the Rings. Can anyone find a source for this quote on the page?
