We are in the process of adding content to this page, it will be a full article soon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Patogracho (talk • contribs) 14:47, 1 October 2009

I have removed the speedy delete tag since there is content and context in the article now. I have also added a couple of maintenance tags. At this point the article is unreferenced, that leads to the other tag, notability. Without references to this concept from reliable sources there is no way to establish notability ~~ GB fan ~~ ^talk 15:53, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

At the moment there are two separate articles here

On one hand, there's the early-twentieth-century opinion that the entire (U.S.) population was "food drunk" and should have eaten less every day. I've beefed up (sorry) the references and pulled all this together into a new "Historical meaning" section. As a historical fact, this meaning looks reliably sourced and notable, even though of course Edison and Rullison's obiter dicta don't hold up on close inspection.

On the other, there's a twenty-first-century claim that individual instances of overeating in a short period of time, especially after a stressful period, can produce symptoms that are similar to those observed when consuming alcohol. This comprises everything in the article except what I've pulled into "Historical meaning". IMO this meaning is inadequately sourced as a neologism, and there's no source for it as a recognizable dietary/metabolic/psychological condition. Basically all we have is a blog entry, some OR bigged-up with section headings and (IMO) a feeling that the claim is probably correct if only some reliable scientific sources could be found for it.

The article obviously can't stand as it is. I propose to leave it here for a few days in case anyone can improve it. If not, then I suggest we cull all the twenty-first-century stuff and leave it as a dry little historical definition of the original meaning of the term.

Five years later and it's still pretty much like you said it was in 2009. I would edit it but I have no experience with the subject matter. 64.201.200.65 (talk) 22:06, 29 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

At current the article...

Seems more about American consumerism and consumption that anything else, have deleted the biased parts. But maybe we should consider locking the page till a consensus can be reached. 66.87.2.75 (talk) 20:58, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into postprandial somnolence

The article should be properly merged (not merely redirected) into postprandial somnolence. Both articles are on the same topic, and the latter is established. --Hyperforin (talk) 18:59, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Refeeding Syndrome

As this article is concerned with "consuming large amounts of food after starvation", I suggest to add a cross reference to the article Refeeding syndrome. 193.135.2.129 (talk) 13:55, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
