BU tries to stem UMass-style borgathon on Marathon Monday
By adamg on Thu, 04/13/2023 - 9:41am
BU Today is urging students to play it smarter than the kids at UMass Amherst and realize that mixing Gatorade with vodka in a gallon milk jug does not protect you from getting so dead drunk you have to be transported to the hospital.
But if you insist on borging, but you shouldn't, for God's sake don't mix coffee into the swill; that just makes things worse, BU Student Health Services says.

I believe the preferred jitter additive to
a BORG is Mio, which is a concentrated, caffeinated water flavorer that comes in little squirt bottles. Four Loko may have gone decaf, but the kids have created their own version, god help them. Alcohol poisoning is a particularly stupid way to check out permanently.
Something worth mentioning
I know college health services don't want to encourage BORGing at all, but there is one advantage to this: you can go BORG lite or BORG free by simply limiting or omitting the alcohol.
Not that people actually do this, but it could be a way to be socially acceptable while simply watching your buddies get stupid.
I weep for this generation…

The more things change, the more they stay the same
Because prior generations didn't also engage in stupid amounts of drinking?
You can
still order a Red Bull and Vodka at most bars and clubs. Which was hugely popular a decade or two ago.
That sh*t will peel paint and ruin you in ways you didn't know possible.
Caffeine + Booze = really bad combo
Keggers
Keg parties or Keggers as they were known at Providence College were the weekend excuse to get blind drunk in the 1970s. One cup at a time though.
