I'm not sure I agree that *women with bulimia, however, are prone to irritability and impulsivity that makes them inclined to behave without regard for consequence* being why bulimics abuse alcohol more than restricting anorexics.
I am irritable, but I would not say impulsive, and I openly admit I'm self medicating right now, but I know the consequences, just as I know what they are for bingeing/purging.
Here's a link to the study. Let me know what you think.
