“…For instance, some studies found that one-third of university students report the use of restriction of food prior to alcohol use in an effort to compensate for alcohol calories (Lupi, Martinotti, & Di Giannantonio, 2017;Roosen & Mills, 2015;Ward & Galante, 2015).

“…Since that time, a few empirical studies have shed light on how frequently caloric compensation and alcohol use intersect in various noncelebrity samples. For instance, some studies found that one-third of university students report the use of restriction of food prior to alcohol use in an effort to compensate for alcohol calories (Lupi, Martinotti, & Di Giannantonio, 2017;Roosen & Mills, 2015;Ward & Galante, 2015).…”

“…One study found as many as 70% of those restricting prior to drinking were women (Burke, Cremeens, Vail-Smith, & Woolsey, 2010). While women may engage in anticipatory disordered eating to compensate for calories related to planned alcohol consumption, men endorse a broader range of reasons for engaging in FAD behaviors (Ward & Galante, 2015). One study found men are more likely to report restriction prior to drinking to get drunk faster (Giles, Champion, Sutfin, McCoy, & Wagoner, 2009).…”

“…One study found men are more likely to report restriction prior to drinking to get drunk faster (Giles, Champion, Sutfin, McCoy, & Wagoner, 2009). Men also reported willingness to engage in drinking on days even when they had not compensated for the calories (Ward & Galante, 2015) and…”

"Drunkorexia" is a term that has been used to describe behaviors such as restricting food intake in anticipation of alcohol consumption to offset total caloric intake, and/or to enhance the intoxicating effect of alcohol consumption. Scattered studies over the past few years have indicated the potential problematic nature of the intersection of these behaviors, yet there remain significant gaps in the operationalization of the construct, limiting research progress. In this article, we articulate limitations of the current research, including problems with the definition of the construct and a lack of theoretical guidance. We suggest a broader and more accurate phrase to guide future work with this phenomenon: Food and alcohol disturbance (FAD). Additionally, we suggest adapting Fairburn's transdiagnostic theoretical model for FAD. It is hoped these changes might provide a roadmap for future work in this area on risk factors and adaptations of current preventive and treatment approaches to focus on this emerging form of eating disturbance.

In particular, it has been noted that -to compensate for the calories associated with alcohol intake -females tend to adopt dysfunctional eating patterns, while males prefer to over-exercise (Barry et al, 2013).…”

Introduction: the term drunkorexia refers to the act of self-imposed utilization of extreme weight control methods to compensate for alcohol consumption typically observed among university students. Despite its diffusion, there is a lack of research investigating the presence of this new alarming trend in Italy. Aim: this study estimates the frequency of drunkorexia behaviours in a sample of Italian youth aged 14-24, explores the motivations for alcohol consumption among those presenting drunkorexia-type behaviours, and examines the relationship between drunkorexia and disordered eating. Methods: drunkorexia behaviors, eating habits and motives for alcohol use were investigated in 403 subjects (F=301, M=102) aged 14-24 through self-report questionnaires. A series of analyses, including descriptive statistics, univariate analysis of the variance and multiple regressions were run. Results: 62.5% of the sample showed drunkorexia-type behaviours. Drunkorexia was related to disordered eating, especially among females older than eighteen. Discussion and Conclusions: this the first study investigating the incidence of drunkorexia behaviors in a sample of youth living in Northern Italy. Evidence-based interventions for eating disorders and drinking problems should inspire the development of ad hoc preventive and treatment actions for drunkorexia.

The construct of drunkorexia, caloric restriction prior to or during alcohol consumption, was examined in 411 college students who experienced alcohol‐related infractions. Analyses were conducted to examine differences in demographic prevalence distributions, alcohol‐related consequences, and alcohol consumption between a subsample of participants who reported drunkorexia behaviors and a subsample who did not.
