"The meaning of the word 'binge' has changed over the years. It has been in common use since the mid-nineteenth century when 'binge' meant principally "a heavy drinking bout, hence a spree" according to the English Oxford Dictionary. While that remains one of the meanings, nowadays dictionaries often define a binge in terms of overeating, and the terms 'indulgence' may be used. Merriam Webster's Collegate Dictionary , Eleventh Edition, for example, says that one meaning of the word 'binge' is "an unrestrained and often excessive indulgence". This so-called 'indulgence' is actually a common phenomenon reported by both men and women. [...] Failure to understand this distinction - between indulgence and binge eating - lies at the heart of much of the confusion about the behaviour." (Christopher Fairburn "Overcoming binge eating")

"Indulgence" czyli "overeating"? Z góry dziękuję za sugestie!
