Overdo it grabbing empty bottles (5)
I believe the answer is:
binge
'overdo' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'it grabbing empty bottles' is the wordplay.
'bottles' indicates a hidden word (bottling is a kind of containing).
'BINGE' is hidden in the letters of 'it grabbing empty'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for binge that I've seen before include "Bust" , "Drinking spree" , "Drunken spree" , "drunken revelry" , "Wild spree" .)
