Etymology

The word 'bender' has its origins in the early 20th century and is thought to derive from the verb 'to bend', which in this context relates to the way individuals might distort or โ€˜bendโ€™ their typical behavior, particularly regarding alcohol consumption. The usage of 'bender' as a term for excessive drinking can also be linked to the changes in social behaviors during the post-Prohibition era, when drinking culture became more pronounced. 'Bender' has been entrenched in various English dialects, particularly in British and Australian slang, illustrating its regional variations. Over time, the cultural perception of a bender has expanded, often reflecting both humor and caution surrounding substance use.
