A short period of doing something, especially eating, drinking, or watching, to an excessive degree.
A binge usually breaks with the normal routine of the person involved, whether it means eating far more than usual, drinking heavily over a single evening, or watching an entire television series in one sitting. The word can also be used as a verb, as in people who binge on chocolate or binge on a new show.
