Too many bottles in dustbin, generally (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

binge

'too many bottles' is the definition.
(a drunken binge)

'in dustbin generally' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'BINGE' is hidden in the letters of 'dustbin generally'.

(Other definitions for binge that I've seen before include "Period of overindulgence" , "Drinking spree" , "Period of excessive indulgence" , "Occasion for excessive eating or drinking" , "Overindulge" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
