Etymology

The term 'binge' originated from the British English dialect in the mid-19th century, derived from 'binge' meaning 'to soak' or 'to soak up.' The word began to be associated more with the idea of overindulgence, particularly in the realm of drinking. By the late 20th century, 'bingeing' evolved to encompass not just excessive drinking but also excessive eating and other behaviors. The rise of binge-eating disorder as a recognized condition further popularized the term in clinical and general discourse. Today, bingeing can apply to a wide range of activities, reflecting a broader cultural awareness of consumption patterns and their impacts on health and well-being.
