Bulimia only when drinking?!
Question: Is there a term for people who only make themselves vomit when they've been drinking? Rather than binge eat, I binge drink, and then stick my finger down my throat to purge.

This is still bulimia. If you are drinking alcohol, some people do it because they are trying to avoid the alcohol toxicity, but bringing your stomach acids up with the alcohol is really toasting the inside of your esophagus and your mouth and your sinuses and your nose - even your ears and tear-ducts can be damaged by this. So you will cause more infections and colds and allergies as well as increasing cell generation and inflamation in these areas...which tends to lead to cancers. So in order to avoid things like mouth cancer or throat cancer or lung cancer, why don't you stick with water and let it all just go through the proper direction. If you put it in your mouth, you need to let it go out the proper direction, it's that easy. If you are drinking alcohol - cut way back on that and drink more water and you will have fewer hangover symptoms - try eating something before drinking alcohol, OK?
It's still just called Bulimia. It's a term that refers to any type of binging and purging. Bulimia is very dangerous, and can make your esophagus, gums, teeth, and skin deteriorate. I suggest you get help from a doctor to cut this horrible habit. Many people have died from eating (or in this case drinking) disorders. Get help ASAP!
I hope you also have Altoids.
You binge drink and make yourself throw up?
That's different....I thought the throwing up part came naturally but oh well...
It depends
Why do you make yourself throw up after you drink?
Bulimia is categorized as someone feeling guilty about what they ate so they make themselves throw up
If you don't feel guilty and just do it then...you just...like to make yourself throw up after drinking...
It's called alcoholism.
