The answer
BINGE
What binge means
To consume large amounts of food, alcohol, or other substances in a short period, often in an uncontrolled or excessive way.
Where the word comes from
"Binge" likely comes from a Midlands dialect word meaning to soak or steep, possibly related to an old verb "binge" used for soaking pottery or bread. The exact origins are murky, but by the 1700s it referred to a drinking spree in English slang. The connection to soaking—as in immersing oneself—may have influenced the sense of overindulgence, though the path from dialect to modern usage remains somewhat unclear.
