--- Quote from: ReindeerFlotilla on 23 Jan 2015, 01:13 ---Agreed with Zalder. If we assume the pint on the couch is the same she had at COD, then she's either had a fifth and two pints, two fifths and pint, or one pint plus maybe a fifth and maybe another pint pluse however much of the fifth she found in her bed. The unkowns are whether the large bottle in today's is a fifth or a pint and how much is left in the the bottle from the morning, if anything.
That's a lot of booze in a part of a day.

Alirght, I'm a teetotaler so...what's a fifth in measurement terms? A fifth of the bottle?
--- End quote ---
Fifth of a gallon, about 25 ounces.

I'm seeing thinks like Marty taking care of Faye, when she woke up and do a move on him.
But you guys are probably right.

Let's put it this way: there really looks like there was a lot of blood in Faye's vomit. That means a ruptured stomach ulcer and it means that she's bleeding out internally right now. She's going to hospital and she's going under the knife to sew her stomach lining back together. Although that's a routine operation, it does have a surprisingly high failure rate so it's going to be everyone hugging in the waiting room and hoping for the best.
After that, the doctors are going to want to monitor her for a few days and flush the toxins (booze) out of her system. Depending on how well she recovers and how certain the doctors are she may or may not end up in alcohol rehab for a few weeks to make sure that she is on the wagon. One thing that she is going to have to get used to is this: with a weakened stomach lining, she's going to be on a very bland diet for a few weeks and she's going to be told "No more booze or else".
Overall, Faye is going to be out of circulation for between a week and a month at least, in-comic time.
A lot of things are going to have changed, I think, when she's ready to rejoin the world.
[edit]
Fix'd typo
ReindeerFlotilla:
Also 757 milliliters for the metric people who don't know. But keep in mind the LD50 is for 80 proof (proof is double the alcohol percentage. So 40% alcohol by volume).

Is that when they make you drink that charcoal thing?
Finwolven:
Also, we cannot _hear_ and _see_ what's going on. Perhaps Marten can see Faye breathing (her back moving) or even hear it clearly, without a snore that would require a sound-effect (not that those seem to be common in QC anyway). So before you write Faye off, or blame Marten for taking a moment to call his girlfriend and not EMTs, consider that a drawn picture is bad at conveying small detail.
Also, blood in vomit? I don't see that. I see whiskey (perhaps poorly rendered) and gravy or curry, eaten in a huff. Blood on comic terms would be more red, as that stuff isn't dried out yet (if it was dried out, she'd probably be dead by now).
75cl of whisky is a hard days/nights binge all right, but not necessarily lethal-dosage levels. Depends on what else is going in the tummy during the drinking.
