alcorexia

Alcorexia is a syndrome where a person on diet will drink but not eat, in order to consume fewer calories. You end up at this bad result from some simple logical steps: 1) You are on diet and counting calories. 2) You are going out for drinks with friends. You've got to be social! 3) You realise that beer and wine have a lot of calories. 4) You have to decide how to avaoid going "over budget" for your calories - eat supper and drink water later, or skip supper and go drinking? 5) You decide to go drinking! 6) You drink on an empty stomach 7) Hilarity ensues. Hilarity often includes falling over or vomiting.
