@hannamarin98 Sugar is a substance that releases opioids and dopamine and thus might be expected to have addictive potential. Alcohol is composed of sugar to begin with. I do not know much about eating disorders, but I do know about addictions. I have an alcoholic husband. I think you should seek some help for that though if it gets really bad b/c so much sugar can cause diabetes. Almost every man in my husband's family is a regular drinker and has some form of diabetes or high blood sugar warning b/c like I said, alcohol is made of sugar.

@TransAm85 Thank you for that information! I didn't know that alcohol was made it from sugar. That's the struggle, it's so hard to deal with it.
