BINGE Meaning and
Definition
-
Binge, as a noun, refers to an excessive indulgence or consumption of something, often referring to food or drink. It is characterized by a period of uncontrolled or compulsive behavior, where a person consumes an unusually large amount of a particular substance in a short period of time. Binges can be prompted by cravings, emotional distress, or even as a response to external cues.
As a verb, binge means to engage in such excessive behavior. It describes the act of engaging in a spree or consuming large quantities in a short amount of time. While bingeing is commonly associated with unhealthy eating patterns, it can also be applied to excessive or addictive behaviors related to other substances, such as alcohol or drugs.
The term "binge" is often used in the context of disordered eating, where individuals may go through cycles of restrictive eating followed by uncontrollable binge episodes. Binge eating disorder (BED) is an example of such a condition characterized by frequent episodes of consuming unusually large amounts of food accompanied by a sense of loss of control.
In broader use, binge can also describe excessive or prolonged engagement in activities unrelated to consumption, such as binge-watching television shows or binge-reading novels. In these cases, it denotes an intense and continuous indulgence in a particular activity in an excessive or obsessive manner.
