Consume, consumed by binges, tippling (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ingest

'consume' is the definition.
('ingest' can be a synonym of 'consume')

'consumed by binges tippling' is the wordplay.
'consumed by' says the answer is hidden in the clue (I've seen this in other clues).
'INGEST' can be found hidden inside 'binges tippling'.

(Other definitions for ingest that I've seen before include "Take in with tinges" , "Absorb - signet (anag)" , "How to take courses" , "Consume food" , "Absorb mentally" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
