Would Wolverine Outdrink Thor?

The question of whether Wolverine can outdrink Thor is a fun one, but it largely depends on the context of the story and the specific portrayal of each character. Both Wolverine and Thor come from different origins, with unique abilities and limitations when it comes to alcohol consumption.

Background of Wolverine and Thor

Wolverine, a mutant known for his superhuman strength and ability to regenerate from injuries, has a healing factor that allows him to recover from toxins quickly. However, he is still human in essence, albeit enhanced, and has limits when it comes to alcohol consumption. While he can consume a significant amount without suffering the usual consequences, he is not invulnerable to the effects of excessive alcohol.

Thor, on the other hand, is a god of Asgard with a much higher resistance to alcohol. He is known to drink heavily without becoming incapacitated, thanks to his divine physiology. In some comic storylines, he has been shown to outdrink entire armies and still stand strong. His ability to consume large amounts of alcohol without the typical effects is a direct result of his Asgardian heritage.

The Drinking Contest: Thor's Advantage

In a drinking contest, Thor would likely have the upper hand due to his Asgardian nature, allowing him to consume more alcohol without the same effects that Wolverine would experience. However, Wolverine's tenacity and healing factor might allow him to keep pace longer than a typical human could. This would make for a very entertaining contest, but the outcome would depend largely on the narrative and the writers creating the story.

Emotional Engagement and Historical Context

It would be one Hell of a drinking contest! In my opinion, Thor is an immortal and has been drinking mead (a potent form of alcohol) for centuries. Mead is described as being umpteen times more powerful than regular alcohol. While Logan's healing factor would work overtime to aid his recovery, I don't think he would recover fast enough to match Thor's consumption of mead. As for regular alcohol, they would likely be sitting and drinking until the Rainbow Bridge froze over.

The Quantum of Cost

It's not clear how much Thor can drink, but he can drink a lot. Captain America has been shown to be affected by Asgardian mead, so it is possible that Wolverine would also be affected. Thor, with his divine resistance, likely wouldn't get drunk on Earth's alcohol despite appearing to become intoxicated in the comic.

The Scaling of Power

Thor doesn't have beer and alcohol flowing through his veins; he harnesses lightning throughout his body. This means that if Wolverine was to challenge Thor in an alcohol drinking competition, Wolverine would likely win, at least until Thor passes out. However, Thor is stronger than Wolverine in terms of strength, supernatural powers, and physical strength. Regardless, Wolverine's regenerative abilities might allow him to outlast Thor in such a contest.

It is also worth noting that Logan is not completely immortal. His DNA aligns with that of a standard human, with mixed strains that grant him supernatural strength, speed, and regenerative abilities. While his regenerative abilities do not prevent him from going under the influence of alcohol, his "immortality" can drain his health over time, making it a struggle to defeat Thor in a drinking competition. If the contest went on for an indefinite period, I believe that Wolverine would eventually outdrink Thor, especially given Thor's tendency towards weight gain and excessive caloric intake as evidenced by the events in Avengers: Endgame.

Conclusion

Ultimately, the outcome of a drinking contest between Wolverine and Thor would depend on the specific narrative and the writers creating the story. However, given Thor's higher resistance to alcohol and his tendency to become intoxicated in comic storylines, he would likely have the upper hand initially. Nevertheless, Wolverine's tenacity and healing factor could allow him to keep pace or even outdrink Thor given enough time. Therefore, while it is not definitively known, it is plausible that Logan would eventually outdrink Thor in a prolonged drinking contest.
