It does.
Though it took my body a few years to return to a measure of skinny-ness after going sober. Otoh, I'm quite a bit older than Faye, with the respective lower metabolic rate. And I drank mostly small, but very regular quantities of beer, rather than hard liquor.
TL;DR - Yes. But methinks it depends a bit on your age, metabolism and drinking habits how your body reacts to your quitting ze boozing. I can highly recommend it in any case, though.
Edit: The most notable thing for me was that constant boozing was very, very exhausting
and quitting put an end to that. You feel tired all the time you don't feel hungover.

Like schnaps-based Molotov cocktails?

I'm wondering if Faye might have a 'near-miss' but I'm also wondering if Faye may have a sudden realisation that she doesn't like people under the influence or even being around people under the influence. This leads to a confrontation in the bar and her wondering if her relationship with Marten and Dora has been permanently soured.
Sort of 'Faye is sleeping on an air bed at the shop for the next couple of weeks' (or, more cutely, sleeping on Bubbles' lap in a corner of the workshop). Marten is okay for her to stay at the apartment but Faye isn't sure if she's okay with it anymore. Not because she's fallen out with him but because she's genuinely scared that she'll never be able to get past that argument in her head.
traroth:
That's too much drama for my taste

I'm another person who thought that it's highly likely that Dora taking off early and no response from Tai meant that they were busy celebrating their engagement. In the bedroom. :-)
--- Quote from: Mr Intrepid on 22 Apr 2019, 19:44 ---Still no word from Dora though. And is Faye panicked because of the temptation to drink or something else. Anyway, cue ominous music.

I'm thinking that Faye is panicking about the possibility of Marten and Claire moving out if Claire ends up getting a job far away. That could be about losing her best friend - but my thoughts also went to the financial side of things.
It's been shown in the comic that Faye and Bubbles are not making much money yet - they've been scraping by but they would probably be in quite a bit of trouble if they had to go from splitting the rent for the apartment 4 ways, to splitting it 2 ways. They could look for another housemate - and I'm sure Marten and Claire would give them a decent amount of notice - but even changing to splitting the rent 3 ways could be a concern for them. Given there would only be the one room to rent out, finding 2 people to share it would probably be harder than just finding 1 new housemate. Not mention having to find good housemate - someone who they can live with. I think it's riskier (financially) to be the primary tenant trying to rent out a room because you have to be able to cover the whole rent, in case it ends up takes you a while to find someone.
Well that's what I thought about anyway... possibly that's reflective of my experiences/my friends' experiences/what it's like here/etc. America and/or Northampton could be different, for all I know. :meh:
It would also make an interesting parallel - Faye advised Marten not to get ahead of himself just a few comics ago, and now she's getting ahead of herself and panicking. But it's probably a good idea for Faye and Bubbles to talk about this possibility now anyway.
