"Drunkorexia," that term co-opted by the NY Times that describes the condition of a combined eating disorder and binge drinking, is catching on overseas something fierce. Since the Times article ran earlier this month, three separate British papers have run stories on the "phenomenon." The best headline? The Times of London's "I'm drunk but I'm thin - at least, hic, I think I am," which ran three days after the initial NYT story. Oh dear. Please don't let this catch on any further. [Fishbowl NY]
