The healing factor would attack the foreign hormones. Wolverine can't get drunk either because his body heals too quickly.

    Those are different things, though. Hormones would be closer to vitamins, the body uses them if they're present without necessarily causing harm to the body. The body produced hormones, but, chemically, if the hormones are made or introduced, chemically, they're the same. Ethanol is a poison that works by affecting the brain by attaching to GABA receptors, so it is a threat to the body.

    That's all science though. Wolverine's healing ability is basically magic. I mean, it regrows his hair to a certain length in a certain style too.

    The backstory for his character is that his healing factor not only "heals" him, but basically restores him to the way he previously was whenever there's a change to his body.
