The Alarming Rise of 'Drunkorexia' Among Young Women

A study by the University of South Australia reveals that around 1 in 3 female university students engage in drunkorexic behaviors, which is when a person engages in disordered eating patterns to offset the effects of consuming a lot of alcohol. This behavior is extremely dangerous and could lead to many health issues, including hypoglycemia, liver cirrhosis, nutritional deficits, brain and heart damage, memory lapses, blackouts, depression, and cognitive deficits.
