Like Pam, I sometimes take a look into the feedback folder if I'm not following the story, just out of curiousity and see if it interests me. But I do follow the story, I mostly read the fic/chapter first because I don't want it to spoil anything.
As for the eating and drinking, I chose the first option, though now that I think of it, I should have gone with 'other'. Yes, I do chug down the drink before I eat, but not mainly because I'm thirsty. You know, it's an old trick to make you eat less, just like people use smaller plates, and it is to keep you from inhaling the food. After I've had a few glasses, I begin to eat, but I drink more inbetween as well.
