Booze Makes Mind Powers Something Something

I'm tired, the day's been long, so let's keep this quick and simple. This question was inspired by rewatching X-Men: First Class with my coworkers.

Would drinking, over the longterm, adversely affect a telepath's abilities?

I don't mean in the sense of trying to read someone's mind while inebriated. I mean do you think that alcohol would eventually damage the portion of a telepath's brain that expressed their powers? Their powers might fade, vanish altogether, or perhaps start to go out of control, thought the last one sounds more like a "teeping while drunk" issue.

Would it make a difference if the telepath was a mutant (in the Marvel Universe sense of the term), or the result of some scientific accident/experiment?

Your thoughts?
