Sounds like she's on her way to alcoholism, which has a whole plethora of health risks on its own.

If you are drinking alcohol, even if it is light, without taking any food could be a significant risk factor in developing high blood pressure.

Basically, not eating allows the alcohol to absorb more quickly into your bloodstream through the lining of your stomach. It also reeks havoc with your body chemistry, by affecting things such as your blood-sugar level, as well as putting your metabolism into hibernation since you aren't eating. Alcohol further screws with your blood sugar since alcohol breaks up into complex sugars. When your metabolism is in hibernation, your body won't be ready to produce the enzymes to break up the alcohol in your system, nor will you be producing as much of chemicals like insulin to break up the sugars that the alcohol gets broken up into. Short term, it can greatly contribute to the risk of alcohol poisoning. Long term, it can contribute to illnesses such as diabetes.
