Explanation:

Jorge knows that Monika goes to a lot of parties. When Bella asked Jorge what's Monika is like, he tells him that Monika drinks a lot of alcohol. Even though Jorge only knows that Monika goes to parties, he tells Bella that Monika drinks a lot because he has a schema about going to parties that includes drinking alcohol.
