My apologies. I chose the wrong word and probably it caused the misunderstanding. I shouldn't have picked the word 'binge'. I needed a word to describe "eat as much as you like/can until you can't take no more." and I thought binge was the right choice.

Delmobile, correct me if I'm wrong. You may have heard of "eat your heart out' but the meaning is not "binge", am I right? If so, how would you interpret it?

It's another way to say "To your heart's content."

Barbara, who answers in American English. My housekeeping skills attest to the truth of the second law of thermodynamics: Left to themselves, things get more and more random!
