Hello xman,
2- as through
"She is looking as though she had been drinking heavily....."
" as through" doesn't exist. The correct expression is "as though",
which means 'as if' .

'She LOOKS as THOUGH she had been drinking heavily, doesn't she?'
= The continuous is not used with 'look' used as a linking verb (= seem=appear)
as though = as if (in a way that suggests something)

The verb 'to look' here could be used to indicate both:
- seem , appear:
in this case "she looks..." applies.
- to mean " to direct one's gaze towards" .She is probably looking at this person in a certain way conveying the state of having drunk a lot.
In this case "She is looking ....." applies.
