New TikTok college drinking trend raises alarms



Colleges across the U.S. are warning of a new drinking trend called “borg” ahead of St. Patrick’s Day weekend. NBC’s Maggie Vespa has more on how school officials at the University of Massachusetts Amherst blame the Gen-Z drink of choice for at least 28 ambulance transports at one recent student event.

  1. It’s a good thing. Thins the moronic herd.

  2. The Darwin awards at its best!

  3. WTF LMFAO 😂🤣😂

  4. These peolpe will grow into adults who follow every trend that comes along. And retailers love that. They want group think and so do politicians. People are desperate to belong .

  5. I thought college was a place where you starting growing up.

  6. Drinking games have always been a thing. Just stupid

  7. To boldly go…somewhere completely stupid.

  8. Plain stupid. Alcohol is poison, especially in excess and over years of abuse. Most alcoholics are in denial.

  9. As difficult as it was at times, I was always secretly thankful for my two very strong willed children. They had absolutely no problem not going with the flow of what others were or were not doing. They set their goals and God help anyone who got in their way. Leaders, not followers.
    My heart goes out to any parent who has or may lose the child that they raised with blood, sweat and tears, only to have this stupidity take them to their grave at too young an age.

  10. I am so sick of TikTok BS. Ban it now.

  11. College is out of touch. Best for student loan and wasted. Not many get the quality education and the outcome they wanted

  12. Everyone loves Tiktok. Especially the young Americans.

  13. another reason to ban tiktok, it's just toxic all around

  14. Gen-Z is living in the 6th mass extinction on a planet that is dying on the precipice of WWIII and nuclear war. They have no future. Let them have fun while they can. Cheeses crust.

  15. The U.S. government should consider banning TikTok after all these harmful trends.

  16. Get those Ernest Borgnine kids! Yolo

  17. The generation of Tik Tok are dumbos. If there would be a challenge like" jumping from skyscrapers without a parachute" I bet they will do it.

  18. I didn’t drink. I just blazed weed and relaxed with a movie on. Best Saint Patrick’s say ever!

  19. just let them do it, I want them to usher in the NEW age of "Don't end up like me" commercials,
    the one with the guy who had a hole in his throat used to freak me out as a kid. lol

  20. Another reason why I'm against student loan forgiveness.

  21. I’m 19 and I don’t drink so aye, im out here

  22. This is another reason to stop TicTok.

  23. Alcohol is gross. People who drink are disgusting. It makes everybody ugly. Gross repulsive poison culture.

  24. LMAO well it's a way to eliminate the idiots

  25. Those girls all look like their mothers drank while they were in the womb, so just following tradition.

  26. If these people are dying from these tik tok challenges, I’m for it. Gets rid of the idiots in our society. Keep doing these challenges kids nobody cares if you die from your stupid actions.

  27. Just band tiktok and problem resolved.

  28. What's the problem? Only stupid people do this, it's natural selection at it's best.

  29. And this is why tik tok should be banned. Lmao the CCP is not even trying to hide how they’re trying to destroy our society.

  30. People get famous from this app if they follow bad trends which is why this app definitely should be banned

  31. You have been assimilated,resistance is futile,Borg queen.

  32. If u do this in the future u going to do drugs.not coll but awesome 😎👍

  33. While I don’t agree with what these “kids” are doing, they’re old enough to make their own decisions. Everyone here in the comment section acting like they’re all saints. C’mon don’t shame other people for their doings when we’ve all been in their shoes in some form or fashion. Kids will be kids no matter how much talk we give to them as their parents, peer pressure is real and it has affected all of us at once. Just my two cents.

  34. People stupid. Why do such a thing? Just like the hazing and made the kid drink so much water, they die due to lack of electrolytes. If you too stupid to know, don’t do weird things.

  35. This generation has been fully assimilated by idiocracy. Resistance is futile.

  36. Please ban tiktok, it's making people stupid

  37. This new TikTok challenge is hijacking a sci-fi icon and cannot be allowed to continue. Resistance is futile. Let Tik Tok die.

  38. 😂😂😂, I spend my days laughing at society.
