Thank you @ladyholly and @doingitanyway ❤️
The eye is looking much better today and the eye ache is lessened, albeit with multiple painkillers.
Happy Christmas and big love to all the scientists etc over the centuries who have got us to the point where we can buy safe painkillers over the counter for 35p, I am consistently grateful

Could it poss be 'binge' which is hidden in the clue? Though it isn't absolutely synonymous with 'drink' as a definition.
