In a new trend sweeping across social media and onto college campuses, Gen Z students have found a new, and seemingly improved, way to binge drink.
One TikTok tutorial posted by a University of Texas at Austin student playfully called borgs “a heart attack in a jug.” The student, whose username is bellaaalonzo, demonstrated how she makes her own borg from water, two-thirds of a 750 ml bottle of Tito’s vodka, a generous squirt of red Mio water enhancer, a Celsius energy drink and Liquid IV .
Binge drinking, or the act of consuming a large quantity of alcohol in a short time frame, has been a popular pastime on university campuses for decades now.
Thirty-two per cent of Canadians between 20 and 34 years old claim they binge drink 12 times or more in a year.
