Suddenly I found out where the details of the film's attempt to express the heroine's alcoholism were

Although I don’t feel that when I watch it, I don’t think it can directly reflect that the heroine is in a drunk state, but the film does try to express the heroine's drunken state special.

And this point is

Eye makeup (??)

Directly above

This is before drinking (I also drank the day before)
I woke up with a hangover after drinking
While drinking
The last one in Seoul, I haven’t drank it for a few days.

It can be seen that although it is not very intuitive, the eye makeup of the heroine is indeed different under different conditions. Although this does not play a good guiding role in watching the movie (so there is the sudden fainting, it is actually Drunk makes many people look dumbfounded), but it can be regarded as a basis to explain some of the strange behaviors of the heroine in the film.

If you happen to have a second brush, you may be able to pay attention to it as a detail.

Finally, let me make a comment. The overall effect of the whole film on the special mental state of drunkenness is really bad. Many times you feel good. These characters are drunk. This also causes the viewers to sometimes fail to understand what those characters are doing. Can more fully show the character's drunkenness, the whole film is estimated to be able to go to a higher level.
