“…Even beyond the average alcohol use per week (volume; Rehm et al., 2010 ), binge drinking was found to be associated strongly with many negative alcohol-related outcomes ( Ham & Hope, 2003 ; Kuntsche, Kuntsche, Thrul, & Gmel, 2017 ), and it also an important dimension to be considered for the estimation of alcohol related morbidity and mortality, especially injuries ( Rehm et al., 2010 ). The concept of bingeing has also been used for other excessive behaviours that have been associated with negative consequences such as binge eating ( American Psychiatric Association, 2013 ), binge watching television series ( Flayelle et al., 2020 ), binge gambling ( Cowlishaw, Nespoli, Jebadurai, Smith, & Bowden-Jones, 2018 ; Griffiths, 2006 ; Nower & Blaszczynski, 2003 ; Werle, Schroeder, Wolz, & Svaldi, 2021 ), binge internet use ( Flayelle et al., 2020 ; Gatineau, 2021 ) and BG ( Mahapatra, Sharma, Amudhan, & Anand, 2021 ). Binge episodes are considered important behavioral markers, in order to avoid the development of more severe long-term consequences, such as addiction ( Cowlishaw et al., 2018 ; Griffiths, 2006 ).…”
