Abstract
Drunkorexia refers to a pattern of behavior where individuals restrict their caloric intake or exercise excessively to compensate for calories from alcohol and allow them to drink more heavily. Subsequently, individuals with drunkorexia experience risks with both disordered eating and alcohol-related problems. Objective: To investigate the influence of feminine intermediate beliefs about alcohol use (FIBA) on drunkorexia among female undergraduate students. Materials and Methods: A sample comprised 290 female undergraduate students who drank alcohol in the past year. Data collection was conducted through convenience sampling via an online platform. The research instruments were the Drunkorexia Motives and Behaviors Scale and the Femininity-Related Intermediate Beliefs about Alcohol Use Questionnaire. Structural equation modeling was employed for data analysis. Results: The study revealed that FIBA could predict drunkorexia for 34.5%. Alcohol Use as Surrender to Femininity demonstrated a positive relationship with drunkorexia, with statistical significance (β = 0.685), whereas Alcohol Use as Overcompensation to Femininity did not exhibit a statistically significant relationship. Conclusion: The relationship between FIBA and drunkorexia indicates the importance of addressing disordered eating behaviors in alcohol prevention strategies targeting female university students.
