Every year there is a news story about some deadly party trend that "has taken over college campuses." Fall 2016 is not eating so you black out quickly


quote:

growing number of college are banning hard liquor on campus in a move to curb extreme drinking — but students are still getting their party on, and some are adding an extra element of risk to their binges.

A group of young people from the Chicago area spoke to NBC News, for TODAY's Campus Undercovered series, about the phenomenon dubbed "drunkorexia."

"If I knew that I was going to be drinking at night, then I would not eat beforehand because of the calories," one student named Alyson said.

Another student, Jenn, added, "I almost died last year... I was hospitalized for three weeks.'"

University of Houston Professor Dipali Rinker said in a study of 1,200 students, he found up to 80 percent were restricting calories, overexercising, purging or using laxatives in combination with binge drinking.


quote:

It's a new drinking culture that some students say is scary. "First time partiers or freshman don't really know what it's like, and then they kind of like, socialize themselves to thinking that's okay and that's acceptable." Says one student who didn’t want to be identified.

I encourage this new fad. Maybe some of the dumbasses will be culled from the gene pool.

I always did the opposite. Made sure I ate so I didn't end up hammered at 9:00.

don't be an a-hole parent and let your kids drink in high school so once they get to college they know how to handle themselves and don't go frickin crazy

We used to donate blood to save money on booze.

This is why the drinking age should be 18 like the rest of the world.

This is stupid. Donate blood and then go get drunk. Saves money, helps someone out.

Just tell them to do what adults do and switch to vodka soda and cocaine.

I may have engaged in drunkorexia in college when I had to choose between affording food or affording beer.

Makes sense; you save money on food, get drunk quicker and have clear puke instead of blowing chunks.

I used to not eat before drinking 4 Loco so that I would get fricked up, shite my pants, and fight multiple homeless people before the pregame was even over.

This is not new. We used to donate blood or plasma and then go drink with the money from the donation to get the same effect.

Back when I used to get shitfaced in college, I'd be game for getting lots of Hot N Spicy's or Taco Bell. They're doing it wrong.
