TikTok Drinking Trend 2023

TikTok Drinking Trend 2023: What Was the UMass BORG Challenge?

The TikTok drinking trend for 2023 involves the BORG (Blackout Rage Gallon), a drink that combines alcohol with electrolytes and additional flavoring. This drink is contained within a gallon jug, making it easy to spot in TikTok videos. Unfortunately, the sheer amount of alcohol contained in these BORGs has led to the hospitalization of UMass students.

What happened with the TikTok UMass BORG challenge?

The TikTok UMass BORG challenge might have started out innocently enough but, as AP News reports, many students drinking from the gallon jugs experienced alcohol intoxication.

According to the report, 28 ambulances were summoned to off-campus parties. The need for ambulances was so high that neighboring agencies stepped in to help.

UMass suggested that this was a new trend and that the university will be taking steps to improve alcohol education.

Unsurprisingly, the events at UMass have been trending across TikTok, with many emulating the cocktail of liquids contained within the gallon jug.

It’s unclear if TikTok is taking any additional steps to better manage the coverage of alcohol on the platform.
