Answer 8

Well because, If you don't eat all day and you drink you get drunk faster and you wont puke out food just liquid stuff.

Oh also because you are not hungry when you are drunk.

Answer 9

people who are anorexic often have other problems.  they might use alcohol to self medicate, or maybe all their friends do it and they want to, or maybe they drink to forget

Answer 10

The truth is, anorexia is caused by negative self image.  It is also true that alcohol tends to create a false sense of pride.  My guess is that it would be easy for someone with the underlying problems that cause anorexia to also feel like alcohol help as well.

As far as getting drunk often, if you mean why is it so easy for them to get drunk, that is simple mathematics.  Alcohol affects the body based on how diluted it becomes in the body.  Small people, especially ones that are starving themselves, are affected more.

Answer 11

Because it's a fun way to make yourself puke, without having to shove fingers down your throat.  

Plus it helps carry on the belief that they are fat and need to lose more weight.  Here is the rational behind that: first off, guys naturally get drunk and have s*x with fat chicks.  So, if a drunk guy sleeps with an anorexic girl, he only did it because he was drunk, which therefore makes her fat.  May seem weird to most, but we have to remember, anorexic girls are crazy, so it makes perfect sense to them.  

However, for all those other girls out there that look in the mirror and see a fat girl, there's a reason behind that, it is because you are actually fat.

Answer 12

Because they are so sad.
