Yeah that would be very unimaginative.
Something else could happen, but it needs to be something that tries to divide the group (this is the theme) or try to separate MC from the group.
Maybe nothing will happen, who knows.
Will is obviously portrayed as a dumb henchman, FV is more of a dick dastardly type, I think the author tried to make his speech a bit more sophisticated.

I think it is stated she drank at night and in the morning, let's not discount the addictive properties of alcohol.
She also states that she was in alcohol withdrawal, so... (i guess I can hold to my crown for a while longer

I had a gf that had to drink a "corrected coffee" every morning and would drink the whole day, met her years later, her hands would shake after being without alcohol for less than a day.
I will give this some suspension of disbelief, nothing else I can do.
