Harry intentionally gets Hagrid and Slughorn drunk to get answers from them.
As does Dumbledore, with Mrs. Cole (iirc? the orphanage owner, at any rate.)
This just always stands out to me because as a kid I found adult drunkenness scary, not funny.
It appears Draco would agree with you! Of course, when his father drinks with his friends (according to Arthur) they end up rioting in their DE masks, so perhaps that's understandable...
It seems like more part of the Gryffindor character, goes along with the sort of manly thing somehow
Don't they sneak in Butterbeer to the dorms after some Quidditch win/party? And Seamus and Ron want to get firewhiskey to celebrate exams ending?
