What information does Susie give Donna?

Susie is unmarried.

This statement is true. Susie tells Dr. Donna that she drinks no more than the average "single, overworked executive". In this context, the term "single" indicates that Susie is unmarried. She then tells Donna that she doesn't have time to meet anyone. Both of these statements indicate that Susie is "unmarried".

Susie doesn't have enough energy to drink a glass of wine or watch television after work.

This statement is false. Susie tells Donna that after a day of work, she only has enough energy to have a glass of Pinot Grigio (an Italian white wine) and watch an episode of "Sex And The City" (a popular television show). Susie is saying that she does do this, although she is too tired to do anything else (like look for a boyfriend, for example).

Susie's loneliness and solitude make her feel very sick.

Susie tells Donna that driving around in her car makes her feel "carsick", which is the type of nausea or discomfort some people experience when driving or riding in a car (usually long distance). Susie feels sick when she drives, not because of her solitude. Susie never mentions that her loneliness (or solitude) bothers her. Donna is the one who implies this throughout the conversation.

Susie is generally very tired after a day of work.

Susie repeatedly tells Dr. Donna that she has no time to find a boyfriend, and that she has no energy after stressful days at work. These statements indicate that she is generally very tired after work.

Susie doesn't have a boyfriend (or girlfriend).

This statement is true. Dr. Donna asks Susie if she has a "partner", which in this context refers to a boyfriend or girlfriend. Susie replies that she doesn't, and that she doesn't have time to meet anyone.
