    Default Carol and Tony Stark's alcoholism...

    which of these characters have more trouble staying away from the bottle? Or is it about equal?

    Tony given he had a massive relapse and is still brought up. Carol (as far as I remember) was dealt with quite quickly and it is rarely mentioned these days.

    I think there was a lot of talk about it during Busiek's run on both Avengers and Iron Man. Think it started being an issue after she lost most of her extra Binary powers.

    She developed her drinking problem after the Morgan Quest but it seemed she largely got over it by the time she rejoined the Avengers around Vol 3 #26 and it was never really brought up much since

    They have been referring to it again lately, it was talked about in her current series and when she guest starred in Iron Man a few months ago.

    Yes they talked about their relationship. Tony felt like he relapsed in eScape. Tony is usually the one they show more on edge with it, but they still show Carol's struggle as well. With everything she deals with and this proves why she is the definition of a warrior.
    "We live in a world of cowards. We live in a world full of small minds who are afraid. We are ruled by those who refuse to risk anything of their own. Who guard their over bloated paucities of power with money. With false reasoning. With measured hesitance. With prideful, recalcitrant inaction. With hateful invective. With weapons. F@#K these selfish fools and their prevailing world order." Tony Stark

    Kelly Thompson also touched on it in Jessica Jones - Carol met Jess at a bar and ordered Seltzer. I think it kind of floored a lot of people because they didn't know Carol was an alcoholic. I'm glad Thompson isn't shying away from it.
    Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

    I think Carol's was brought up in the Life of Captain Marvel and Tony almost relapsed in Slott's series.

    Fun Fact: Tony is Carol’s AA sponsor. They actually went to a meeting together during CW II
