jags

Binges or barbs

Jags names sharp projections or points along an edge, and by extension, periods of unrestrained activity or indulgence: a crying jag, a drinking jag, a shopping jag.

These episodes typically suggest loss of control or excess.

To jag something is to cut or tear it unevenly, leaving a jagged edge.
