gorging
Eating to excess
Gorging is eating greedily or to excess—stuffing yourself until uncomfortably full.
The word suggests rapid, indiscriminate consumption: gorging on pizza after the game, gorging yourself at the buffet.
It extends beyond food to any excessive intake: gorging on true crime podcasts, gorging on social media.
