Drunkorexia and alcohol consumption among college students

Drunkorexia is a term that describes a troubling behavior pattern among college students, where individuals engage in compensatory actions—such as restricting food intake, excessive exercise, or purging—before or after consuming alcohol. This behavior is often driven by a desire to manage weight while maximizing alcohol consumption, leading to significant health risks. Recent research has focused on understanding the motivations behind drunkorexia, its prevalence among college students, and the psychological factors that contribute to these behaviors.
