“…Although binge behaviors are usually initiated for recreational purposes, they may lead to harmful consequences. Bingeing is indeed associated with a variety of health problems (e.g., obesity, diabetes, alcoholic cirrhosis, thrombosis and pulmonary embolism; Fazzino et al, 2017 , Rangarajan and Forman, 2019 , Udo and Grilo, 2019 , Ventura-Cots et al, 2017 ), sleep disruption ( Exelmans & Van den Bulck, 2017 ), impaired cognitive and emotional functioning ( Carbia et al, 2018 , Lannoy et al, 2021 ), decreased academic and work performance ( Jennison, 2004 , Kuntsche et al, 2017 , Pawaskar et al, 2017 , Rubenking et al, 2018 ), increased risky behaviors (e.g., unsafe sexual behaviors; Hingson et al, 2017 ; Townshend et al, 2014 , Wéry et al, 2016 ), social and relationship disturbances ( Vaterlaus et al, 2019 , Werner et al, 2018 ), and, more globally, reduced quality of life ( Rieger et al, 2005 ). As a result, unmoderated and unrestrained indulgence in binge behaviors can ultimately lead to severe and potentially long-lasting effects on a person’s physical, psychological, and social health, thus posing a serious public health concern.…”
