Says "Demon in a Bottle" writer Bob Layton ...
I'm gonna quote David Michelinie here, that it was never our intention to do anything relevant. We were paid to, basically, do the next episode of Iron Man. [It's] just [that in] that particular issue, alcoholism was the bad guy. Instead of Doctor Doom or somebody like that, it was the bottle. That was our villain of the month. And that's really the way we treated it. We built everything up to that. But the point of it is, it was never... we never attempted to be relevant. It just... in the corporate world, what gets to guys? What causes the downfall? Usually it's greed, or it's sex and drugs, right? Well, we couldn't do the sex part, right? Alcohol wasn't talked about all that much, really, to be honest with you. Especially with kids, you know, in that particular era. But, you know, we treated it as we intended to, as the bad guy.

It would be funny if there was an actual character in Iron Man called "Alcoholism" with a costume and everything.

Reminds me of that episode of The Office where Ryan had to do battle with Fear. As in....Cousin Mos with a giant "fear" written across his chest...

And all he does is show up everywhere Tony goes, boozing it up and having a fucking great time with seemingly no drawbacks to being an alcoholic. :laugh:
