What is Drunkorexia?
by J. Foster
Drunkorexia is a new slang term that describes the practice of restricting food intake in order to drink more alcohol. You won't find this one in the DSM-IV manual for diagnosing health disorders. The Morning Show ran a piece on it that looked exclusively at how this practice affects women. Statistics suggest that 30% of 18-24 year olds skip food in order to drink more. In recent years, binge-drinking patterns among young women have grown to match that of men. In order to maintain weight, many young women will go without meals if anticipating a drinking session later on. It's no laughing matter. Just looking at college students only - over 1,400 18-24 year olds lose their lives each year due to alcohol-related injuries. Excessive alcohol consumption is a form of self-medication that is very hard on the body. Sadly many people have decided that they are not able to "have fun" without being intoxicated. The most interesting people you meet in life are those who are crazy and fun while being stone-cold sober. Never a dull moment. source:

Just thought I'd share this with you guys. Anyone here might be suffering from this, or has suffered from this illness but have gotten help? I think this is a serious issue. Its two illnesses. Its someone being an alcoholic, and also having an eating disorder. Its very dangerous. Post edited at 12:13 pm on Dec. 22, 2008 by xobeautifulgirlox

How can a person drink more when they have an empty stomach? If anything it'll make them pass out sooner!

I hope the people that replied to this thread, saying that they do it all the time, really begin to think and focus on the consequences.
