We honestly don't know how far Faye has slid into alcoholism, if she is an alcoholic. She is certainly showing a lot of warning signs of being. Not every person needs to hit rock bottom, living on the streets, begging or worse for their next fifth of rotgut before they realize how bad it is. Having something Very Bad like this happening as a direct result of her drinking problem may be enough to shock Faye into realizing where she is headed. Or maybe not. Tellingly, when she was caught, she didn't offer up some lame excuse or brush it off. By her expression and body language she knew she screwed up big time. We haven't seen the aftermath of 'Go home, you're fired' yet, but she didn't immediately blow up at Dora. Being sympathetic and understanding of her, and letting her do what she wants has only let Faye stuff herself into the bottle. Having it slammed in her face like this might be enough to wake her up. Or Marten could come home from date night to find Faye passed out and surrounded by empties. It could really go either way right now.

sluthy:
Faye knows. She knows what she's doing and that it's wrong, but #2872 basically implies she just doesn't care anymore. Whether or not this is also alcoholism, it's definitely depression first and foremost. Maybe that word 'fired' was a sobering slap, maybe not.

Is it confirmed that Angus has already left? Pintsize said "it's not too late", so maybe he hasn't moved out yet?  I strongly suspect any emotional intervention will have to involve him, just so both of them can have closure.

hedgie:
Having been to the "just don't care" stage many times before, it can be even worse than having suicidal impulses.  That's often what happens when you start to "get better", as if the mind just shuts-down to prevent direct self-harm, but by doing so, often means doing things like Faye is doing.

I have it, not sure if it's kosher to post it.  Mods?
