Why did you do this?
There is probably a subconcious reason that all of these things are happening.
The first thing is that getting drunk while being depressed is a big fault.
While drunk you have more of a risk of suicide than any other time, because you are intoxicated you have no self control.
Also regarding the cutting, Its not the only way to get out your emotions.
All though you might feel that it is, you can talk to someone about it or maybe get your emotions out through writing in a journal.
There are ways around it.

if I were going to say why you did this, without any real insight I'd probably guess that you felt guilty about eating, and maybe fat and disgusting on top of that. and in order to either distract yourself or attempt to rid yourself you cut yourself or hell it could have been to punish yourself for eating. or it could have been subconcious, cutting realizes hormones in the brain to make you feel better, basically the brain tries to ease your suffering I gues. just like puking. no body likes being hurt and the brain is a nice guy, it's the mind that's a total whore
