7. What are her eating habits? Does she skip meals, eat out, drink alcohol, avoid certain foods? She'll eat anything since she pretty much likes nearly anything, and it doesn't help that she's a bit of a big eater (she doesn't gain much weight due to being highly active). She likes to drink alcohol and is probably a borderline alcoholic at this point.
