Drunkorexia is a dangerous trend

Young women are putting their health at risk by cutting calories from food in order to binge drink, experts have warned.

The phenomenon known as ‘drunkorexia’ is most common among university students faced with the conflicting pressures of heavy drinking and staying slim.

Knowing they are going to have to drink to fit in but not wanting to put on any weight, they will skip meals before a night of heavy drinking.
