Whose and what might be dead or alive?

Let's go through this, panel by panel:
[*] BLONDE GUY - Similarity is the car accident. Faye may or may not have been drunk when she wrapped the car around the tree.
[*] REDHEAD WITH GLASSES - Similarity is the parent. We've touched on how dad sneaked bourbon; Faye probably learned how to "sneak" drinks in that same way.
[*] LARGE DARK-HAIR GUY - Similarity is job. Developed to the point where he was coming into work drunk. Same thing with Faye.
[*] PONY TAIL WOMAN - Twofold: rough childhood (dad shooting himself) and the drunken suicide attempt (so drunk she had to go to the hospital).
[*] MUSTACHE GUY - "Slid into it", which is something that definitely happened with Faye. She didn't realize how much she was relying on the bottle until waking up in the hospital.

However, the fact that he drank in secret, coupled with Faye's own alcoholic tendencies, is very suggestive. I don't see why it should be just dismissed out of hand as an inconsequential thing.

Well for one thing, it doesn't count as "in secret" if he was doing it while out with Faye.

It's an old AA joke, I'll relate it next time I'm on a desktop.

Yes, clearly a secret is only a secret if only one person knows about it.

Faye specifically refers to her father's weekly bourbon milkshake as a secret between the two of them.
