Is there ever a good reason to get blinding drunk?
Of course there is!
Well, at least for me, personally. And a lot of the other X-Men, it seems. This whole super hero business isn't all that it's said to be, to be honest with you. Especially back in the old days. Try wearing spandex for a whole day and actually getting sweaty in it. Whoo, boy! Not that I had to worry a lot about that, since my costume basically consisted of underwear back then. But the villian-of-the-week could still give you a good wedgie in them.
But on a more serious note, yeah, sometimes there's a damn good reason to get piss drunk. It's not as if being a super hero isn't hard enough, but try being a mutant super hero. Sometimes the whole protecting those who hate and fear us thing isn't all that appealing. There's plenty of X-Men who I've seen at the bottle. Not that they're alcoholics or anything. Although I think Logan just drinks because he wants to, reason be damned.
I'm betting that a lot of people have said this, but it helps numb stuff. Makes everything nice and blurry. It temporarily erases the pain and it's pretty fun at times, too -- that is, until you wake up the next morning with a head-splitting headache and have to lock yourself into the bathroom for the entire day.
I wonder if Logan gets hangovers, with his healing ability and all.
Maybe I should ask him sometime.
