Can Superman Get Drunk?

[Dalak]

I do not know much about Superman, but I had an idea for a Rumble, and I need to know if Superman can become intoxiated, or if I need to make up something like "Krypto-Beer" that has just enough exposure to Kryptonite radiation that it gets him drunk as normal beer would. This could be used for Whiskey or Tequillia too, but you get the idea.

But anyway, thank you for your help!

He can get drunk on solar energy if he spends too much time in the sun.

One of my favorite jokes, about a guy who claims there's an inivisible brige on a skyscraper, punchlines can be:
"Gee Superman, you sure are a mean drunk."
So I hope he can get drunk, otherwise that joke is out of continuity, and I don't do Elseworlds humor.

The variant punchline from the same set up is: "Gee Superman, you sure hate black people" and I'd not be happy if I have to start using that punchline to avoid being seen as non-canon.

Nice, and PatricG I was hoping for getting intoxicated off of something else, since I wouldn't wanting SUpes chugging Sunlight now would I ;)

The funnier version is: a man is walking home when he see's another man leap out of a 6 story building, hit the ground, and get up unharmed and walk back inside, he follows the man..curious, and asks how he did it, the man replies that there is a magic inside the building that prevents you from dying should you fall from it, then when the guy tries it for himself and dies, someone in the background remarks "you sure are a mean drunk superman"

you would think toxins wouldnt effect him

Well I was thinking that possibly he'd get intoxicated from Plaid Kryptonite or from the right chemical that reacts with his alien biology. Unlike others I doubt that a large volume of alcohol would get him Intoxicated like some other superfolk.

[Dalak]

So I take it the general consensus is that SUperman can't get intoxicated on anything besides Yellow Sun Energy. In that case it's 'liquid sun' or 'Krypto-Booze' Ah well.


Oh wait, I know: LIQUID SCHWARTZ!!!

Just read the Superman is a Dick thread... ;)

Well, he was drunk in Superman 3 and breaking bottles by flicking peanuts peanuts at them at super-speed! I'd say yes

Hey! That's my avatar!

The movies made it seem that he could... "I never drink when I fly." -- Superman: The Movie)

I believe in Superman For All Seasons, he'd been out drinking with friends, and he wasn't sure, but he thought he might have been somewhat impaired.

I think it's possible, but it would take an awful lot. If Superman were an alcoholic, no one else on the earth could be.

When Guy Gardner was Warrior he said he couldn't get drunk. If he decided to drink religiously, he should logically drink all the alcohol in the world... :D

Dear God, I hope Superman III isn't considered canon!

Superman is supposedly immune to all terrestrial poisons, diseases, and radiation. Since alcohol can be classified as a poison, I believe it has no effect on him.

Movie canon, yes. Comic canon, no.

That reminds me of a skit that was on the old Mtv sketch comedy show The State. And I think i may be the only person on this planet apart from the actual cast that remembers that show.
Basically the skit was about these nuns that ran an orphange, and they called one orphan into their office, and explain that he wasn't really abandoned like he had thought, but that they found him in crashed space capsule from another planet. They tell him about his powers and give him a costume and cape, and then tell him to fly out to embrace his destiny as a superhero. The orphan jumps out the office window; the nuns watch as he falls straight down with an eventual thud and then burst out laughing. Then they get back into their original places and call in the next orphan.

I doubt superman can get intoxicated unless he consumes a very, VERY large amount of alcohol. being the boyscout he is, i don't see that happening
