Alcoholics / drunkoretics compensate for periods of alcohol consumption with periods of strict dieting or starvation. For example, starvation during the week is typical and serves as preparation for a weekend binge. However, various diets and fasts are also a frequent trigger for this problem, with alcohol serving as a substitute for food or a means of suppressing feelings of hunger.

It is obvious that this form of addiction has an extremely devastating impact not only on the psyche but also on the physical health of the addict. In the case of this diagnosis, therapeutic action must be taken at the root of the problem, that is, the eating disorder.

At its core is usually an unhealthy attitude towards oneself and a lowered self-esteem, which the sufferer translates into an attitude towards his or her body.

If the above problems concern you or a loved one, do not delay seeing a specialist. Drunkorexia is a disease that threatens not only the health but also the life of adolescents. Only the milder forms can be treated on an outpatient basis; the BMI is the guideline. In other cases, hospitalisation is recommended.
