Iron Man (MCU) isn't an alcoholic.

I'm not going to deny that Iron Man in the comic books is a... heavy drinker. I think everyone who's read Demon in a Bottle can piece that together. But in the MCU, he's definitely not an alcoholic. He hasn't done any heavy drinking since Iron Man 2 (the booze party scene), hasn't used alcohol at all since SM:H, and both Disney and Robert Downey Jr. wouldn't want to portray him as one, due to Disney's public image and Downey Jr.'s own experiences with it. His coping mechanisms in the MCU are less "get plastered and forget" and more "I'll isolate myself in my garage and build a new suit." Can we remove the category from his page?

EDIT: Just realized that Iron Man's page for the comics doesn't have him down as an alcoholic. Can we fix that as well?
