    Early release, published at www.cmaj.ca on April 2, 2012. Subject to revision. March 28, 2012 After not eating for up to 11 days and working out four hours daily, Damian Mangat, then 16 years old, was still dissatisfied with her weight when she came across a novel proposition. While part of an outpatient program at a hospital in Toronto, she met a slender girl who disclosed her technique for keeping thin: drink alcohol while consuming no food. Mangat decided to give it a try. “I thought ‘perfect, I already love to drink when I can get it, and now I won’t have to worry about the dizziness because now when I need energy I can just take a shot of something,” she says. “It seemed to work. It seemed to be the magic answer for me.” Such a coupling of an eating disorder with alcohol abuse has been coined “drunkorexia.” Mangat, now 40 and a mature student at a university in Toronto, says the practice is common among college-age women and she often hears talk of foregoing food to save calories for alcohol. “The thinking is first of all, I’ll save the calories,” she says. “Secondly, I’ll get drunk on less and I’ll look good in what I’m wearing, and then later if I do end up eating, I can always throw it up because the booze makes it easy to throw it up.” Drunkorexia is not recognized in any clinical inventory but shares pop- psychology status with a number of other troublesome behaviours such as orthorexia (an extreme preoccupation with eating foods perceived to be healthy and avoiding foods that are not), manorexia (the male version of anorexia nervosa) and bridorexia (when a bride- to-be fasts to ensure she can fit into a certain size dress).
