overconsume
This term carries a strong negative connotation, typically implying a lack of restraint or a failure to adhere to sustainable or healthy limits. It is frequently employed in academic, environmental, and medical discourses to describe systemic issues, such as the ecological impact of consumerism or the physiological effects of dietary excess.
While "consume" is a neutral description of use, "overconsume" explicitly judges the quantity as excessive. It is more formal than saying "eat too much" or "buy too much," making it suitable for reports, essays, and professional analysis of behavior and resource management.
