Abstract Details

2015, Master of Science, Miami University, Exercise and Health Studies.
Drunkorexia is known as the use of disordered eating strategies in response to or in preparation for future alcohol use (Rahal, Bryant, Darkes, Menzel, & Thompson, 2012). The aim of the current study is to assess the relationship between drunkorexia, athlete status, and sport type. Participants were 295 college students (82 male and 213 female) from a mid-sized Midwestern university. Students participated in an online survey that included items assessing alcohol consumption, the Rutgers Alcohol Problem Index (RAPI), the Eating Attitudes Test-26 (EAT-26), and the Compensatory Eating and Behaviors in Response to Alcohol Consumption Scale (CEBRACS). Student-athletes had significantly lower EAT-26 and CEBRACS scores than non-athletes; RAPI scores did not significantly differ between the two groups. Certain sport athletes differed concerning CEBRACS diet/exercise subscales, EAT diet, and EAT total scores. Aesthetic athletes may be more susceptible to the combination of alcohol consumption and disordered eating practices than other sport athletes.
