Irene Roberts (played by Lynne McGranger) is still in denial about her drinking problem on Home and Away (1:45pm - see our TV Guide for listings).

After recently falling off the wagon again, alcoholic Irene secretly brings a flask of booze with her to work at the Diner.

Irene is annoyed after she overhears her colleagues, Leah Patterson (Ada Nicodemou) and Marilyn Chambers (Emily Symons), talking about her again.

So she sneaks into the storeroom to drown her sorrows by secretly drinking on the job!

However, Irene's boozy state causes her to mess-up food orders at the Diner.

Which leads to a confrontation with concerned Leah...

Back home alone, Irene pours herself another drink to dull the pain.

But when Irene starts walking upstairs, she suddenly becomes dizzy and falls backwards...
