Answer
Eating disorders such as binge-eating are influenced by multiple factors:
- behavior, emotions, and attitudes surrounding weight, body appearance and food issues.
- Fashion magazines, toys, media, society, fashion, friends, and spirituality impact the way we see ourselves, how we think of food and how these two factors interact.
- We are given unrealistic images and expectations (a 6 foot model weighing 105 pounds + eating a 1,000+ calorie burger -- these images contradict each other).
How we process these factors(this can be influenced by family history) can lead to binge-eating.

∙ 13y agoAlcohol can affect the mind and body in many different ways. It can lead to binge-eating in a few ways. One way is that alcohol can change a person's perception. This means that they may think they are starving-hungry and eat a lot, when they are not actually hungry. Alcohol can also inhibit the mind's signals that tell a person that they are full and to stop eating, leading a person to over-eat. Alcohol can also cause extreme mood swings. Often in times of sadness, depression, isolation, or loneliness people tend to binge eat due to emotions.
