10 Common Eating Disorders
Common Eating Disorder #3: Drunkorexia
Alcohol is popular throughout much of the world, although most of us are aware of the risks involved. The main risk is that some people can become dependent on it, potentially ruining their lives and the lives of others around them. Another factor that is on a lot of people’s minds is the calorie content.
A lot of drinkers will switch from calorie-rich beers to relatively light wines and spirits, while others will take a different approach. Drunkorexia is a slang term (non-medical) used to describe the habit of eating less food in the knowledge they will be drinking in hope of balancing their calorie intake. Drinking without first eating can make you very ill, while you will also suffer from a lack of nutrition. It could also lead to serious complications.
