Carl-E:
If she's hiding bottles and forgetting they're there under her pillow, she's crossed the alky line, from problem drinking to a drinking problem.
Our organist and choir director, a man I've always admired, just finished a 3 month suspension concurrent with a rehab program (yeah, christmas music was just sort of thrown together with a substitute organist).
Last sunday, he was shaking like a leaf. Still played beautifully, but you can see he's having a hard time coping.
I gave him a hug. Wish I could do more.
Same for Faye.

Probably not? I just figured, since Dora questioned Faye's judgement over drinking a $15 bottle of Scotch, then maybe a theoretical $5 bottle would be...worse? Admittedly, I know absolutely nothing about Scotch, so that poll option probably falls a bit flat. My bad.

I know nothing about Scotch either, and got the message I think you intended with the $5 bottle, so not universally flat.

yep. there is no question about this. she reached for the bottle before even being fully awake. even if she didn't bring that second bottle into the bedroom she is alcoholic.
wonder how this subject will be treated in QC? it is very serious one. everyone knows at least one alcoholic and knows how devastating it can be to that person and to everyone around.
but this is QC world so maybe the problem can be tackled with a cybernetic implant which will expel all alcohol at 200 mph few seconds after drinking it?
Han can probably pay for it for her friend.

I just did a search for cheap scotches, and I couldn't find anything less than $14 a bottle. Not sure I'd want to either.
tragic_pizza:
I expect that, precisely because alcoholism is a serious and close-to-home subject for so many people, Jeph is going to attack this arc with the same care he did with Claire's coming out.
The man is no idiot. He has proven his ability to be funny, compassionate, and real. I'm hurting for Faye, but this is going to be a good arc.
