PSA - Here's another new term to learn - BORG

If you haven't heard about it yet, you will. This sounds like a colossally stupid idea, but I know it's already happening in the HS where my kids attend.

Who would think it's a good idea to drink a BlackOut Rage Gallon? The short version of what it is: Gallon of water, pour some out, replace with vodka and add a flavor enhancer.

This is the rage at my kids college. Been happening the whole three years she’s been there so it’s not that new.

It is new to parents on HS kids.

It actually isn't a stupid idea for girls. Many do this or pregame in college to avoid getting drugged and raped - which happens much more than you think.

No more trash cans or coolers of jungle juice from our generation. Now everyone brings their own to keep themselves safe

Yep. Especially before football games. Not new.

The Food Theory YouTuber did an episode on BORG. It sounds like a good idea if you stick to your own gallon and don't mix it stupidly (but, these are teens so....)

Black out rage drunk is good? It sounds like it’s only good if you don’t actually add vodka.

My friends were just talking about this recently and no one had ever heard of it. It’s a good PSA for those who don’t have college kids.

Or any, I suppose. Are you suggesting that teens use this to fit it w/o actually consuming alcohol?

I'm sure atleast some do, this whole idea seems rather clever

Thanks so much for sharing, OP. Glad to know what this is.

Clever for some. Bad idea for others

TikTok, like the company itself?

Or do you mean the youth on TikTok are encouraging it?
