Zalder:
Here in California, if it's a first time visit to the ER for too much alcohol consumption doctors don't seem to concerned. I went a long a couple times in college with friends who were in bad shape after too much booze, both times the doctors just gave a super quick "don't do it again" and left it at that. I imagine though that if it had been a repeat occurrence they might do pysch referral. As far as being committed though doctors here I think would be way too afraid of lawsuits to try that unless there was pretty concrete evidence.
hedgie:
I live in California as well, and it really depends on circumstances. I did spend an evening with a co-worker on her 21st birthday, and after she disappeared, I found out the next day that she needed 2 litres of fluid in the ER that night, and the bartender was surprised that I was vertical the next night, not to mention having worked an 8 hour shift, but then again, I was the more experienced drunk. If she gave the same psych history that I gave the last couple of times I was in the ER, I have no doubt that that she would have seen the inside of the proverbial padded room.
Edit: Sad Hanners these past few strips kinda hurts.

Agreed.

I think if getting stuck into a psych ward is one of the usual outcomes when visiting the ER after alcohol abuse, a lot of people would be afraid to seek help.
I would have thought she emptied her entire supply of booze by now.
Dark Matter:
Now that it seems like Faye is on the right track, at least for now, I'm curious to see how the rest of the cast is going to react to this whole series of events.
