Fandom Gripes #20: Wei Wuxian is not an alcoholic. I don’t care how he appears in the other adaptations, in the novel, he is not an alcoholic. Drinking alcohol every now and then does not make one an alcoholic. Liking alcohol does not make one an alcoholic. Having a favorite alcohol does not make one an alcoholic. Having an interest in the different types of alcohol does not make one an alcoholic.
If you wanna argue that Wei Wuxian is an alcoholic, you will have to show me where in the novel he is ever shown to be dependent on it, where it plays a major role in his life, and where it is used often enough to impair his thinking and actions. Can you even point out a scene from the story where he’s drunk? Do we see any mention of him always having alcohol on him when he travels, not just having it with some meals? No? Then how did we get here?
