overgorging
Eating way too much
Overgorging is eating or consuming to gross excess—beyond mere fullness into uncomfortable, even harmful territory.
The word implies not just indulgence but loss of control: After overgorging on Thanksgiving leftovers, he could barely move.
It can extend to non-food consumption: overgorging on content, overgorging on information.
