Waking up with Marten and Hanners sitting at her bedside, looking as if their world was coming to an end... and realising that she had done this to them by her drinking herself almost to death.
Yes, Faye wants and craves to keep drinking; there is a part of her that needs it and is screaming at her 24/7 to drink. Strip 2893 proves that. This strip is, IMHO the turning point, by the way. It clearly shows the moment when Faye decided that, as far as she has power over her impulses, she's going to be dry from now. At the start of that strip, I'm convinced that she intended to sneak a shot or six of hard stuff. Then, in panels 4 & 5, we can see the internal struggle, her desires and her desire never to hurt her friends like that again warring each other in her head. Finally, she decides that isn't going to hurt her friends and family with her weakness. So, she poured the whole bottle down the sink as that weak, alcohol-dependent part of her screamed abuse at her for doing so.

Arthur's ultimate goal is to lure individual members back to his apartment where he'll knock them out and steal their livers to sell on the black market.
That's why the group has a age limit, he wants to get those things out before they destroy them with their drinking.

You are describing Dissociative identity disorder, a disorder most commonly found in people who suffered severe physical and/or emotional abuse as children, who imagined the pain and horrible things as happening to someone else, in self defense. Currently, the "multiple personality" disorder considered to have the most merit, and have the most people vouching that it is a real thing. Especially common in people who were sexually abused by family members at a young age.

I hope not, because Arthur Philip Dent is a complete jerk, an asshole.
