Post caption
Big Sipz is selling pre-made BORGs (blackout rage gallons) called Jugz in 1-gallon bottles with 16% ABV and flavors like Lime Margarita and Fruit Punch. The brand is capitalizing on the viral BORG trend that exploded in 2020 when college students started mixing vodka and flavored drink mix in gallon water jugs, claiming the electrolytes prevent hangovers despite little evidence. BORGs have sparked major controversy on campuses, including a Saint Patrick’s Day incident at UMass Amherst that sent 46 students to the hospital. #borg #college #alcohol #vodka

Transcript
Premade borgs are now a thing, and a brand called Big Sips makes them. They're one gallon with 16% ABV, and the brand calls them Jugs. They come in flavors like lime margarita, fruit punch, purple punch, and 'merica, whatever that means. This is most definitely playing off the popularity of Borg's, which is short for blackout rage gallon that got super popular starting in 2020. College kids started making these by adding vodka and flavored drink mix to gallons of water. People have claimed it helps prevent hangovers because of the electrolytes and water, but these are not based in much fact. Borgs have created a lot of controversy at different college campuses, and at UMass Amherst, forty six students were hospitalized from them after a Saint Patrick's Day party in 2023.
