Morphology

binger = binge (transparent) = binge + er

Standard agentive formation from the verb 'binge' plus '-er', meaning 'one who binges'; the slang narrowing to drug use does not block the transparent morphological relation.

Etymology

The word binger comes from binge, which once meant a 'period of heavy drinking' or a wild spree. So a binger is someone who does too much of something, and in slang it can mean a person who repeatedly uses drugs in binges.
