adjective

Google's definition isn't exactly up to par for me, but I want to stick to using it for consistency's sake. Let me just add that this word is usually used to describe the desire to eat in great amounts. That was the first definition I saw, and that is the one I had something to talk about.
I've always had a bit of a problem with the word 'binge.' It's a big eating disorder trigger and the casual use of it seems to undermine what it actually means and implies, similar to how people use 'literally.' I don't have any illusions about this word being used so commonly, but I always feel a little lighter when I hear of a possibility for a simple improvement in language like this.
