“…That is, students who report engaging in both proactive dietary restriction and binge drinking, drink heavily more frequently. In another study, findings from Castañeda et al (2020) indicated a strong positive cross-sectional relationship between proactive Alcohol Effects (i.e.behaviors, such as proactive dietary restriction, aimed at enhancing the psychoactive effects of alcohol prior to a drinking episode) and binge drinking frequency among college students.…”

“…(Barry & Piazza-Gardner, 2012; Barry et al, 2013). Previous cross-sectional investigations indicate that college students who intentionally restrict their caloric intake prior to drinking episodes are then more likely to binge drink (Bryant et al, 2012;Burke et al, 2010;Castañeda et al, 2020;Eisenberg & Fitz, 2014). For instance, Burke et al (2010) found that while 33% of college students who reported engaging in proactive dietary restriction also reported alcohol consumption on 10 to 19 days within the past month, 21% of college students engaging in proactive dietary restriction also reported binge drinking on over 20 days within the past month.…”

“…The weight conscious drinking phenomenon describes the occurrence of disordered eating behaviors meant to compensate for alcohol-related energy intake and/or to augment the psychoactive effects of alcohol (Barry & Piazza-Gardner, 2012; Barry et al, 2013;Peralta, 2002). Weight conscious drinking also accounts for the temporal relation of compensatory behaviors and/or behaviors that enhance the psychoactive effects of alcohol in response to drinking episodes, commonly referred to as 'proactive' and 'reactive' compensatory behaviors (Bryant et al, 2012;Castañeda et al, 2020;Peralta, 2002;Piazza-Gardner & Barry, 2014). Proactive disordered eating behaviors can include self-induced vomiting or dietary restraint prior to a planned drinking episode, whereas reactive disordered eating behaviors can include self-induced vomiting or dietary restraint after a drinking episode to compensate for the energy intake from alcohol.…”

Background: There is a positive cross-sectional relationship between alcohol-related proactive dietary restriction to feel the effects of alcohol faster (APDR) and binge drinking, a health and safety issue impacting college students. Objective: To examine: 1) the longitudinal predictive ability of varying levels of APDR on binge drinking frequency; and 1a) the strength of the relationship between varying levels of APDR and binge drinking frequency during freshman year of college (n = 1,149). Methods: Ordinal logistic regression was used to model the relationship between APDR and binge drinking frequency. Results: Main findings suggest APDR of students who reported eating less than usual (low APDR) prior to drinking to feel the effects of alcohol faster was a significant predictor of binge drinking frequency (1.27 (95% CI, 0.06 to 0.42), Wald χ 2 (1) = 8.46, p=.009) at baseline, but not at 7-month follow-up (1.02 (95% CI, −0.18 to 0.23), Wald χ 2 (1) = .51, p=.83). APDR for students who reported skipping one or more meals (high APDR) to feel the effects of alcohol faster was not a significant predictor of binge drinking frequency at baseline nor at 7-month follow-up. Conclusion: Low APDR is a significant predictor of binge drinking frequency that is established early in the first semester of college with no significant change occurring in binge drinking frequency over the course of students' freshman year at 7-month follow-up. Campus health professionals are urged to emphasize the detrimental health effects of low APDR early in the first semester of college.

Objective: This study aims to: (1) examine gender differences for weight conscious drinking among college students accounting for the broader phenomenon (e.g. including the Alcohol Effects dimension); and (2) longitudinally examine the effect of weight conscious drinking behaviors on body mass index (BMI). Participants: United States freshmen students from eight participating universities (N= 1,149). Methods: Structural equation modeling was used to model the effect of gender on weight conscious drinking dimensions at 7-month follow-up. Results: Findings suggest a significant effect of gender on Alcohol Effects (β = −.15, SE = .05, p = .005) at 7-month follow-up among college freshmen. Weight conscious drinking dimensions predicted no significant change in BMI at 7-month follow-up among college freshmen. Conclusion: Findings contribute to weight conscious drinking theory and provide campus weight conscious drinking prevention initiatives with evidence to tailor their programming to address female tendencies to engage in compensatory strategies to enhance the psychoactive effects of alcohol.

Introduction: Bulimia nervosa (BN) and binge eating disorder (BED) present a comorbidity with alcohol consumption disorders due to the similarity between the symptoms of these conditions such as lack of self-control, impulsiveness and increase in self-destructive behavior. The ingestion of alcoholic beverages directly affects the diet because the greater the amount of alcohol consumed, the lower the density and nutritional quality of the diet. Objective: To identify the pattern of alcohol consumption and the quality of diet in women with binge eating disorders. Method: This is a descriptive, cross-sectional, comparative study with a quantitative approach carried out with adult women with diagnoses of BN or BED, monitored in four specialized services in the state of São Paulo. Sociodemographic and anthropometric data was collected (weight and height to calculate the body mass index-BMI; waist circumference-WC), the alcoholic beverage consumption pattern through the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT), food compulsion symptoms by the Binge Eating Scale (BES) and food intake by the 24-hour Diet Quality Index calculation -Revised. The data was analyzed in a descriptive way by the SPSS version 21.0 program. To verify the association between the categorical variables, the Pearson's Chi-square tests or Fisher's exact test were used and values of p<0.05 were considered significant. Results: The study was composed of 50 women with binge eating disorders, young adults (35.0±12.0 years), no partner (n=34; 68%), employed (n=31; 60%) and with complete high school (n=29; 58%). They were overweight (BMI: 31.27± 9.70kg/m2) and had very high cardiovascular risk (WC: 91.50±20.5cm). It was evident that 29 participants (38%) presented problematic consumption of alcoholic beverages associated with lower food quality and low vegetable consumption when compared to women who do not drink alcoholic beverages. Conclusion: The problematic consumption of alcoholic beverages in women with binge eating disorders is of concern since they are in mental health treatment and this may impair the quality of their diet. The early detection and treatment of alcoholic beverage consumption in people with eating disorders are fundamental prevention and rehabilitation strategies to minimize the consequences of this practice, favoring the prognosis of these serious diseases.
