This type of supporting material is a definition.

A definition is an explanation of what something is or represents or stands for - so in this case, the definition of a binge drinker is a person who drinks a certain amount of drinks in one sitting.

An analogy would be a comparison to something else, an illustration is self-explanatory, and an opinion is a personal feeling about something.
