Ah, liquor. You make the making of friends so much easier. And this makes sense; friends and booze just go togethermainly because people are seldom impressed when youre drinking alone. So with Oktoberfest winding down, it behooves us to turn to our left and right, examine closely who weve been drinking with these past few weeks, and judge them unfairly against superheroes who might well have made far better drinking buddies.
