Gilbert Bundy: Fair Warning

In Gilbert Bundy's Esquire cartoon from the October 1953 issue, Mr. Ostack is given due notice:

"We've got to stop this drinking, Mr. Ostack, or I won't know what I'm doing[.]"
Gilbert Bundy
Esquire, October 1953, page 56





My reading of this, then, is that the blonde woman in yellow and blue knows exactly what she's doing with the older gentleman. But do we know that for sure? If she is unaware of the implications of her pending loss of control, this becomes a much darker gag.
