Why Foreigners Are Confused by the Word "Binge Drinking"
As sport24.ru reports, there is simply no exact equivalent of this word in other languages.
There is an international term "dipsomania", but it is used to describe the uncontrollable craving for alcohol, not the process itself.
In English there is a word "bing" which means drinking a large amount of alcohol/illegal substances in a short period of time.
However, the Russian equivalent of this word would be “drunken drinking” or “binge drinking,” but not “binge drinking.”
In general, it is difficult to explain to foreigners the meaning of the word “binge,” sums up sport24.ru .
