How to translate "to eat their own face off"?

Question

I'm trying to translate an interview with Scottish musician (from Mogwai) Barry Burns and I stumbled upon one sentence which I can't understand.

If Rave Tapes, comes from reminiscing of 90’s dance parties and that whole culture, did you consider having a release show in the kitchen of some squat surrounded by guys in kappa tracksuits trying to eat their own face off?

What does to eat their own face off mean?

Interview can be found here.

It's a common phrase in rave culture, meaning something very specific.

Amphetamine-based drugs (like ecstasy) often cause people to gurn in a way that looks like they're chewing or grinding their teeth, whether they have anything in their mouths or not. It's a well-known tell-tale sign that someone is taking such a drug.

Maybe it means that you've done something that you regret.

However, it can also mean that you want something so desperately that "you can eat your own face off" (not literally of course)

Elian · Answer

It's slang and it means they're trying to eat all they can eat.

eat one's face off: to eat huge quantities of delicious food for the pure joy of eating.
