What is Drunkorexia?
Just thought of sharing this one.. :)
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.

Drunkorexia? Drugorexia? Well I've heard about Anorexia, Orthorexia and Bigorexia but what is also spelled as drunk-arexia was something new to me.
I was knowing only about anorexia and bullimia..Thanks for letting us know something never heard of...
TFS.. Visper...
lol... You can post the current leaderboard in that thread Fruga ;)
I will come to England before that to catch the 2018 edition :o)
If you drink Guiness beer - you will avoid the loss of Vitamin B - as it is high in Vitamin B.
It is given to new mothers in Ireland, not as a celebration, but as a high source of B Vitamins, amongst others.
Also described as the liquid meal.
Nothing mentioned above about premature aging. I have a friend in Dubai, whom I naturally thought was the same age as me (almost 40), turns out he just turned 26. Amazing damage due primarily to massive alcohol consumption.
