The dictionary definition of binge is "a period or bout, usually brief, of excessive indulgence; spree." Yes, the term does commonly refer to drinking or eating, but that's not the only circumstance in which it can be used.

In this instance, Michael was sharing how he had been cramming for his exam. Some may call this a "studying spree," which is synonymous to a "studying binge."
