surfeiting

Gorging to excess

Surfeiting is indulging to excess, especially in food or drink, to the point of sickness or disgust.

The word carries a sense of overindulgence that becomes its own punishment: surfeiting on rich desserts until nothing tasted good anymore.

It extends to any excessive consumption: surfeiting on streaming shows through the long weekend.
