There's a scene where the soap opera being filmed is doing a scene with the main character and a female character who is acting as a victim of domestic violence with fake bruises and bandages on her face/body as she lays in a hospital bed on set. The main character gets angry over the scripted dialogue and describes the situation in a bit more detail in an attempt to justify her (his) ad lib in the scene.

A female character is asked why she drinks so much and she deflects by making a joke and then dismissing it as an issue. However, this person is never seen drunk or experiencing any distress from excess drinking. She is only seen drinking wine and champagne.
Many characters are seen drinking a lot of alcohol during party scenes. One character suggests everyone get drunk. Later, you see several people in the perphery passed out from drinking too much (implied).
A female character suggests her father "take it easy" when he asks if anyone wants another drink. She then tells a story about one of his past drunken antics.

A male character has a bunch of pills in his hand and appears as if he's about to take them and another male character in the room asks "Can you take that many valium?". The scene ends before you see whether or not the pills are ever taken.

Not exactly, but a female character says she was trapped in a bathroom for a half hour. You only see her after she finally gets the door open.

The soap opera set is a hospital design. All patients are actors within the movie, though. (actors play actors playing patients) Hospital machinery are present.

Not in the way this trigger is meant to be applied.
A male character pretends to be a woman for the sake of getting an acting gig and so needs everyone to believe he is female with the exception of his friend and agent, who know he's only pretending.

I say yes as a warning to those who are bothered by sexist, chauvinistic, and misogynistic comments and gestures. There are a lot in this movie in a variety of contexts.
