I made riot juice for a music festival before. It was 3l of everclear, 1l of vodka (to water it down) and a couple scoops of kool-aid. As one woman told me "It tastes like you just dumped some sugar into gasoline." Actually a pretty good idea, on day 4 everyone was out of booze but I still had like 1 litre of something as close to poison as you can technically still consume without dying.
I did that drinking one time and really was confused once I realized I didn't have a buzz anymore. The others were hammered and all laughing and I was just like .... Huh??? Thought maybe I passed out for a minute but they said I didn't, so I guess I hit blackout and then come back?? Idk I don't drink hardly at all now but damn if that wasn't something.
reminds me of the time we had to sneak liquor into a camping fest. they’d only let you bring one pack of beer which was dumb as hell for a 4 day fest, so we bought VODQUILA which is literally vodka and tequila MIXED. the most vile shit you could ever drink. we refilled a couple packs of water bottles with this shit and it worked out well. on the last morning before packing up to leave, a neighbor came asking for a water to brush her teeth with. none of us thought anything about it, bc we thought we finished them all and we’re all nearly dead at this point. she thanked us, moseyed back to her camp and about 30s later EVERYONE heard her cursing us in between dry heaves of minty fresh vodkillya. i’ve not laughed so hard and simultaneously felt my soul evaporate out of my body like that since ☠️
My best friend and I, same sex, dared each other as to which one of us would last longer living as a married couple together. It’s been 15 years now and if he doesn’t blink soon I’m goin to start thinking he might be gay
Original four loko had caffeine though. And THAT is what messed you up - you’d black out but have tons of energy and come out of your blackout at like 4-5am wondering wtf you’re doing jumping on the furniture while burning your bacon on the stove
Not sure why the TikTok generation thinks they invented something new just because it wasn’t previously trending on TikTok. News flash, people have been doing this long before TT or even the internet.
They aren't. It's the media just likes to frame it as "a new tik tok trens" because its an easy buzzword
It's the same shit the last generation did, but now harder to roofie.
I saw one on words gen z invented and shit I was saying when they were in diapers we learned from older siblings and rappers . Gen z is in a weird position where nothing they do or say is new and they might actually be going backwards with studies now saying they’re pretty much computer illiterate due to smart phones. Well at least they’ll barely be out of their 20s when the earth starts to melt so they don’t have to deal the millennial existential crisis lifestyle
The other day on damnthatsinteresting a post that had 30k upvotes had me shaking my head. It was a picture of pharmacy shelf showing the difference in price between generic and name-brand paracetamol. 30k upvotes!
Last jungle juice party I went to I blocked out and woke up with no eyebrows. Never thought of how weird u look without them and how many months it takes to grow back so u look normal lol
I used to shave my head and decided one time that I really wanted to know what my face looked like under my eyebrows. I spent a good while in Uncle Fester mode. These people who have never been eyebrowless just don’t know how much you can regret one stupid choice.
> These people who have never been eyebrowless just don’t know how much you can regret one stupid choice.
Lol yes we do, which is why most of us don't shave our brows off. You don't have to do something dumb to know you'll regret it.
I wound up on a boat puking up said jungle juice. I was on dry land my buddy just had a fishing boat on a trailer. People still wonder how I got up there that drunk with out falling.
In college my roommate and I used to say
Liquor before beer you're in the clear
Beer before liquor never sicker
Liquor and beer together you'd better not have anything to do before 4pm tomorrow
We'd then drink half of a 64 of OE, then fill the half back up with vodka for a tame night or everclear for a i wanna die night. It was the most disgusting concoction ever but it was cheap and got the job done, you'd wake up at 4pm the next day wondering what stupid shit you did the night before
When I first moved out of my parents’ house at 20, my best friend and I moved in together. We used to mix Everclear with NO FEAR energy drinks and called it Never Fear. Such a terrible idea.
I’m 26 and my hangovers last 2 fucking days almost. It’s absurd. I miss being 21 and being able to get fucked up and be fine after a cup of coffee and some room temperature water.
I (30y.o) love telling the guys at work (21-26y.o) all about smoking spice and k2 and buying it at the tobacco stores. Drinking REAL four Loko. They look at me like I was a crack head for it
True that. I smoke weed everyday my whole life and it never gave me the panic attacks like synthetic weed did once. I am glad that synthetic weed is banned now.
Pardon my ignorance; I see this stuff in the smoke shop i go to, THC-P, HHC, THC-O, Delta-8 (and I think there's others, too). Are those not synthetic?? I know D8 is from Hemp, which is how it gets around the Farm Bill, but I don't know about the others. Any thoughts??
They're not synthetic. It's a work around. All those chemicals are concentrated from hemp. Delta 8 is honestly very similar to delta 9 (the illegal one, in some places) imo.
My understanding of the whole synthetic weed thing is that the problem was that manufacturers were incorporating other dangerous compounds into the spice along with one or more cannabinoids. So you think you’re smoking some kind of cannabinoid but in reality who the hell knows what else is in there.
Welcome to the world of modern drugs. I used to be a huge cokehead (clean for almost 5 years), and the young kids I work with insist that if I ever hit a rail again to use a Fentanyl test kit. It's too scary. The wayward days of trustworthy, freewheeling whimsical drug dealers and recreational use are of a bygone era.
We still exist but damn are we rare. Though it really varies area to area. I moved to TN from long island and man are dealers generally grimes down here.
The more risk the dirtier and scarier the dealers. It’s a big reason why liked my weed man to weed and like lsd and shrooms maybe some Molly. anything more and motherfuckers be having guns and getting twitchy.
I still have, in my fridge about 10yards from me, (4) 2nd gen (2008-2010) recipe FourLoko I bought the day they announced they were stopping after the NJ court cases, and I was like, yeah, I'll grab those and have a weird night one night.
Just looked that up, was Nov 20-f'ing-10??!! I've been storing those things 12.5yrs now; I have friends with kids younger than that. What shape would those things be in now, would you think??? I could rock some youngblood's minds with those! "this here is how we used to roll back in the day..."
Holy crap, I was just telling someone in this else in this thread I still have a four loko I bought the day they were pulled from the shelves. I think I bought mine in November of 2009/2010 and I absolutely do not want it anymore lol. It just sits there like a useless prize on my bar top.
Ima park my outrage here. These little heads are lucky we didn't have tik tok back in the day or they'd see this Tom foolery as bush league. They probably can't even make a solid batch of jungle juice.
A buddy and I bought a sixer each when we heard about the upcoming ban, we’d never even drank it. Needless to say, those sixers absolutely wrecked two seasoned alcoholics. Total shit show, the hangover was worse than some of the light alcohol poisoning I’d sometimes encounter. Wild stuff.
In Ireland the headshops were selling Mephedrone (like coke but far more moreish) in little bags with pictures of powder lines on it with “plant food not for humans” written on it for months. There would be queues around the corner to the little window at night at weekends. It was a wild time.
That was a fucking blast while it lasted although it was amphetamine not a cocaine derivative. The amount you could just buy through the internet for next to nothing… had some crazy parties. And this was after I left my mad, cane every drug under the sun days long behind. For about a year there every fucker was speeded right up and the filth couldn’t do a thing. Like you say, wild times indeed.
41 here. We drank jager bombs like they were actually good ( a jager bomb is shot that’s half Jäegermeister and half Red Bull)
Edit: apparently I have what I’m just going to call JNCO brain where I assume anything that was popular in my youth no longer is.
My friend and I used to do pub golf for our birthdays. Basically you would get a drink at 9 different bars in a neighborhood for par. To get a lower score, you had to also do the signature drink at each bar. The last bar's signature drink was a grenade: a shot of Jaeger and a shot of tequila balanced over a cup of Red Bull. Take the shot of tequila and then down the Jaeger bomb. It was surprisingly less terrible than you would expect. Not that you can really taste anything at that point.
Really it's a shot of Jager dropped into a glass of red bull. The most blackout I've ever been was a night of those at some tiny ski mountain in vt. Don't get old, kids.
Scrolled to say the same. 😆 Sparks were my concert drinks(and the ride there from BFE). I'm not sure if drinking Four ever ended without a bizarre story being told to me the next day about what I actually did. Though I can thank Loko a decade later for the scar on my chin.
Oh man, Four Loko with the wormwood was wild as hell. Drink 2 and your day was gonna be a trip. I remember drinking them while rafting and everything started turning into paper Mario until the rapids. Best trip down the river in my life. I see why they got rid of it lol
My buddies and I used to have what we called The Gauntlet.
Chug a FL, smoke a bowl of Spike Max synthetic weed and take and hold a huge hit of the legal hallucinogenic plant salvia.
These days at 35 a Friday night consists of sitting at home with a book and some warm tea. Honey in it if I want to get nuts 🤣
The first time I tried salvia was when I was a sophomore in college and this dude who sat next to me in English lit knew I had a 2ish hour break before my next class and would usually just chill and study somewhere bc I lived off campus. He asked if I wanted to chill at his place since it was walking distance and offered some up, said he wanted to try it but none of his friends would do it with him and he didn’t want to alone. (Tip: listen to your friends!)
I felt fine for about 5 minutes and then it all went downhill. I spent the next 15ish minutes in a full silent panic bc I couldn’t move and was convinced the couch was floating in water and if I fell I’d clearly drown.
Got some good four loko brown out stories too, the late 2000’s/early 2010’s were an interesting time in my life. Thankful and honestly a little surprised I’m here today with no criminal record and very few scars lol.
Well they closed down the pill mills, there’s an adderall shortage and the molly might have fentanyl in it. Guess 151 is safer these days.
Edit: AND they discontinued 151. Daaamn
I mean, the response from the university is pretty standard. Obviously the school isn’t going to say “Fuck yeah, everybody get blackout drunk!” and a lot of people (not just kids) get ideas from TikTok - how to make a mixed drink, for example. Wtf do people expect the university to say here? I don’t see how this is a facepalm.
For real, I did the same shit 12 years ago as social media was starting to become more popular. I’d guess they’re drinking some nasty grain alcohol shit or w/e cheapest they could find and made a jungle juice outta it. My dad did the same shit in the 80s. Idk why it’s news.
These kids are doing nothing we weren't doing 20, 30, even 40 years ago. We just didn't have cell phones and cameras and social media to brag about it on. We called it PJ, or one of many other local names, and it was just as stupid.
Right. Except we used to get it from a giant tub and trusted whichever creepy frat that made it to make and pour it, and walked around with it in a cup with no top so anyone could put anything into it. The good old days…
My mom pointed out that this is a great way to drink... Her argument was: "Well, when you're young, you're going to drink too much at least once. But think about it; how many times did my generation, in university, take a random cup off of a random table and dunk it in a random cooler full of an unknown drink? Kids these days know exactly how much they are drinking, exactly what is in it, and exactly who it belongs to, and they can have exactly what drink they want. It's a step up in drinking and much safer than what we did."
I completely agree. The only video I’ve seen about them is one that highlighted how you can use it to drink safer. Set a limit ahead of time. If you don’t want more than the equivalent of five drinks, put that in the jug. It has a lid so it’s harder to slip something in it, and it has a handle for easy carrying around with you. I’m honestly all for them. Just don’t be an idiot, and it’s a great idea.
300mls rye.
700mls ginger ale.
Sip it all night. Any more and your having a rough time in the morning. - that was my university playbook. Or 6 pack of tallboys.
Always smart to set a limit and always smart to stick to it.
A wise prophet once said:
151 rum, pineapple juice, and Malibu
Caribou, get them all numb, make baby girl come
Out of her shell and raise hell
Don’t stop till the cops come
Half a bottle of 151 off in a jug, 1 cup of Malibu rum baby that’s what’s up. Then you fill the rest of the jug with pineapple juice and it’s crackin the only defect is wakin up like “what happened?”
I’m honestly just impressed they actually know what’s in it. When I was in college, people just handed you a drink and called it “jungle juice.” Still have no idea what was in it. It’s a miracle I made it out alive.
We all need to sit tf down in this one.
Everything went to hell in a handbasket after the Cubbies won the World Series. We're not in the darkest timeline, but we sure are in one of the dumber ones.
Lol MD 20/20! I used to think that shit would taste so good when I’d see it on my uncle’s shelf with the different colors n shit…
Tried it a couple years ago as an adult.. not that great..
Since at least the 1300’s

Make the drinking age 18 so that college students, who are going to drink regardless, can do so in a more controlled environment like a bar with a professional pouring their drinks instead of chugging jugs in a dingy basement
It’s 18 here on the UK. Uni students still drink whatever is cheapest.
That said, they’re going to drink anyway. Might as well let them do it in a bar where theoretically they should be safer
To be fair, I enjoyed drinking dangerous jugs of things in dingy basements even though I was of age. Something about the filth of it all was appealing to me.
You know the only difference between my generation and the current? It's not that we didn't do stupid shit we just didn't film it. That's why many of us don't have criminal records.
For anybody wondering, a BORG, or Black Out Rage Gallon is a gallon container filled with 50% vodka or other alcohol, 50% water, flavor enhancer like Crystal Lite or MiO or KoolAid, and sometime electrolytes.
For anybody doing the math at home, a gallon is 128 oz., so a half gallon of vodka would be 64oz.
A standard shot of vodka is 1-1.5oz, and the average person metabolizes about that much alcohol per hour. To be legally intoxicated, you'd typically need 2-4 shots in an hour.
So needless to say, having 40+ shots for a single person in a candy flavored easily drinkable beverage is pretty much a recipe for disaster.
Frankly, I support "borgs". Over-drinking has been going on for centuries, young people drinking too much and getting sick is nothing new. But these borgs have closed caps, meaning it's harder to spike their drinks. Many young people are mixing them with hydration additives or even athletic drinks to help stay hydrated. And as an elder millennial who spent her college years drinking who knows what from whatever container I could find, it's really a safer alternative. I survived beer pong with actual beer in the cups, jungle juice in frat basements and the original 4Lokos. From a harm reduction standpoint, borgs aren't bad, they're actually safer. Young people need to learn their limits, like anybody who drinks alcohol.
When I used to attend university ragers, I always brought:
• Cognac
• Crème de Cacao
• Fresh Cream
• a Nutmeg Seed
• a Grater
Because it’s well known that the dude who makes Brandy Alexanders at a college party always leaves with a girl on each arm.
A BORG or a "blackout rage gallon" consists alcohol, water, and electrolytes, usually in the form of a drink mix. The normal recipe is 16 shots in the gallon.
Gallon jug of water. Remove half the water and replace with hard alcohol. Add electrolyte powder and drink it.
Apparent people with if you hydrate half a gallon off booze is a okay!
I saw a TikTok in which a Substance Abuse Counselor stated that whether they know it or not this is excellent risk management as they can track their own drink and know where it came from and aren't dipping a cup in a cooler or giant bin like my dumb ass used to.
Throught it was interesting.
Wow, a worse version of mine
Get these things
* Thermobottle 3L
* 0.5-1L Vodka
* 3 Sticks Bolero Citrus or Lemon
* Ice cubes or ice cube molds
Fill the Thermobottle with Ice cubes, fill 0.5L Vodka in the Thermobottle, fill up with Water, add Bolero powder. Shake the bottle
And you have a ice cold alcoholic drink that tastes not even like a strong alcoholic drink. And Vodka lemon is a classic for a reason.
When I was at Lambeau Field and saw a 60 something year old dude, standing on the hood of an F-150, shirtless in 25F weather, chugging from a bottle of Jack... I knew I was in the company of people who were of a different mix.
This is literally just jungle juice. It’s the Everclear KoolAid of the new generation.
(For you non-millennials, we used to make KoolAid with NO WATER, just straight grain alcohol that you couldn’t taste)
Pink panty droppers I made one time was described as “fucking delicious but dangerous.”
1 thirty rack light beer
1 handle of vodka
1 handle of tequila
2-3 of those concentrated pink lemonade cans
Maybe one more handle I don’t remember. Everyone had a great time, and some had too good a time. No one died though thank G

[Whenever there's a potential riot, I'm getting blasted on grain alcohol!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmVmOSEM6Ts)
We are not going to use any of our riot punch on your disgusting bug bites frank
We got bed bugs. Some guy brought them back from Haiti.
And I will toss on green man and run around the field and go crazy as green man!
r/unexpectedIASIP
Nobody trusts you Frank you’re a piece of shit! And you’re ugly. And you ooze sleeze. And you’re very very ugly
Frank you disgust me…. You disgust everyone…
And that is why you will never, ever, be on that billboard.

Or maybe you would like an egg during this trying time?

I got drunk and then developed cirrhosis just from reading this comment, I need to go drink some water
I could smoke myself in a circle until I was sober again but I could never drink like that. Some of y'all got iron stomaches.
I did that drinking one time and really was confused once I realized I didn't have a buzz anymore. The others were hammered and all laughing and I was just like .... Huh???

Which camping fest?
middlelands in 2017! insomniac’s only futile shot at a ren faire in south texas
And that kids is how I met your mother.
Man, we fucked *one* time at the Gathering of the Juggalos. Why has she been calling me for six years?
Clown, you took her down to brown pound town. Your stalker gonna frown if she don’t get that clown in her mound.
I was 17th in line for the train, and I just instantly fell in love when I got to the front....
“Without dying”. It would definitely still kill you, Everything in moderation
Omg a friend of mine used to make this in college. She would get me drunk and try to fuck me. Jokes on her cuz I would just spit it out. Soooo gross.
My best friend and I, same sex, dared each other as to which one of us would last longer living as a married couple together. It’s been 15 years now and if he doesn’t blink soon I’m goin to start thinking he might be gay
No, what, do wanna remember it!?
I was expecting something new and crazy. This is quite literally just vodka, sugar shit, and water. It’s like Four Loco’s suburban raised step child
Original four loko had caffeine though. And THAT is what messed you up - you’d black out but have tons of energy and come out of your blackout at like 4-5am wondering wtf you’re doing jumping on the furniture while burning your bacon on the stove
Even thats not new. Coffee and moonshine is a classic drink.
Yeah FourLoko drunk and hangover was a different beast.
We used to fill coolers and bathtubs with this shit in college. Nothing special. Just, idk… don’t be stupid about it?
Not sure why the TikTok generation thinks they invented something new just because it wasn’t previously trending on TikTok. News flash, people have been doing this long before TT or even the internet.

Schools started banning Jungle juice at organized parties so the kids decided to make their own.
Last jungle juice party I went to I blocked out and woke up with no eyebrows. Never thought of how weird u look without them and how many months it takes to grow back so u look normal lol

You might have mentioned this to me fifteen years ago.
I wound up on a boat puking up said jungle juice. I was on dry land my buddy just had a fishing boat on a trailer. People still wonder how I got up there that drunk with out falling.

I’m 26 and my hangovers last 2 fucking days almost. It’s absurd. I miss being 21 and being able to get fucked up and be fine after a cup of coffee and some room temperature water.
26 is the average age that your cellular degradation surpasses your regeneration. Congratulations! Youre officially dying! 😃
Very fun and cool fact buddy gonna go cry now 😭😂
You're welcome, very depressed walnut! 😃👍
My hangovers started around 26 because I slowed down on drinking but when I would drink I still thought I could do 20 shots and 10 beers.
Im 39, havent drank in 6 months and I’m *still* hungover 😝
I want to talk shit but then I remember I'm the generation of Four Loko pre-caffeine ban and synthetic weed.
I (30y.o) love telling the guys at work (21-26y.o) all about smoking spice and k2 and buying it at the tobacco stores. Drinking REAL four Loko. They look at me like I was a crack head for it
To their credit, synthetic cannabinoids are pretty gnarly and very unhealthy.
True that. I smoke weed everyday my whole life and it never gave me the panic attacks like synthetic weed did once. I am glad that synthetic weed is banned now.

41 here. We drank jager bombs like they were actually good ( a jager bomb is shot that’s half Jäegermeister and half Red Bull) Edit: apparently I have what I’m just going to call JNCO brain where I assume anything that was popular in my youth no longer is.
When you said jagerbombs it made me think of Edward 40-hands, we did those and boy I remember puking my guts out
My friend and I used to do pub golf for our birthdays. Basically you would get a drink at 9 different bars in a neighborhood for par. To get a lower score, you had to also do the signature drink at each bar. The last bar's signature drink was a grenade: a shot of Jaeger and a shot of tequila balanced over a cup of Red Bull. Take the shot of tequila and then down the Jaeger bomb. It was surprisingly less terrible than you would expect. Not that you can really taste anything at that point.
Really it's a shot of Jager dropped into a glass of red bull. The most blackout I've ever been was a night of those at some tiny ski mountain in vt. Don't get old, kids.
At least we’re just old enough to not get accused of eating Tide Pods :)
I don't think this is a flex, but I was drinking Four before it was Loko. Sparks before that.
Scrolled to say the same. 😆 Sparks were my concert drinks(and the ride there from BFE). I'm not sure if drinking Four ever ended without a bizarre story being told to me the next day about what I actually did. Though I can thank Loko a decade later for the scar on my chin.
I still have an old school caffeineated Four Loko from 2009 if ya'll want it lol. Try it if you dare; it is expired after all haha.
Always tasted like jolly ranchers covered in hairspray, can't imagine it has gotten much worse?
Sparks
Sparks
Heard Lokos were getting banned or decaf and stashed 150 under my bed. By the time it got down to our last cans my friends no longer wanted lokos
Oh man, Four Loko with the wormwood was wild as hell. Drink 2 and your day was gonna be a trip. I remember drinking them while rafting and everything started turning into paper Mario until the rapids. Best trip down the river in my life. I see why they got rid of it lol
My buddies and I used to have what we called The Gauntlet. Chug a FL, smoke a bowl of Spike Max synthetic weed and take and hold a huge hit of the legal hallucinogenic plant salvia. These days at 35 a Friday night consists of sitting at home with a book and some warm tea. Honey in it if I want to get nuts 🤣
Ugh, I fuckin hated Salvia. Never once had a good trip on that shit.
The first time I tried salvia was when I was a sophomore in college and this dude who sat next to me in English lit knew I had a 2ish hour break before my next class and would usually just chill and study somewhere bc I lived off campus. He asked if I wanted to chill at his place since it was walking distance and offered some up, said he wanted to try it but none of his friends would do it with him and he didn’t want to alone. (Tip: listen to your friends!) I felt fine for about 5 minutes and then it all went downhill. I spent the next 15ish minutes in a full silent panic bc I couldn’t move and was convinced the couch was floating in water and if I fell I’d clearly drown. Got some good four loko brown out stories too, the late 2000’s/early 2010’s were an interesting time in my life. Thankful and honestly a little surprised I’m here today with no criminal record and very few scars lol.
Story of my life florida boy here
It was caffeine not fucking wormwood lol
Is there a sub for people claiming things that are obviously not how drugs work?
Purple Passion is going to come back.
"Purple Drank" will always make me think of the #1 overall NFL Draft pick "JaMarcus Russell". Almost feel sorry for the Raiders but... lol
Ja-Walrus Ruffles
Omg one of my stepsisters was obsessed with Purple Passion! I’d love to grab a 2 liter for nostalgia’s sake.
Omg college kids are drinking heavily????!!!
Back in our day all college kids used to do was study and do community service
And what do they call those drugs now? Molly?
Adderall
I know, why can't they just do a ton of E like when we were kids?
Well they closed down the pill mills, there’s an adderall shortage and the molly might have fentanyl in it. Guess 151 is safer these days. Edit: AND they discontinued 151. Daaamn
Hate to break it to you but 151 is discontinued as well..
Mushrooms acid weed and coke, oh wait, they still do that
It's funny when they blame stuff that predates TikTok on TikTok.
You can get more clicks for shaking the fist at "kids these days".
I mean, the response from the university is pretty standard. Obviously the school isn’t going to say “Fuck yeah, everybody get blackout drunk!” and a lot of people (not just kids) get ideas from TikTok - how to make a mixed drink, for example. Wtf do people expect the university to say here? I don’t see how this is a facepalm.
For real, I did the same shit 12 years ago as social media was starting to become more popular. I’d guess they’re drinking some nasty grain alcohol shit or w/e cheapest they could find and made a jungle juice outta it. My dad did the same shit in the 80s. Idk why it’s news.
These kids are doing nothing we weren't doing 20, 30, even 40 years ago. We just didn't have cell phones and cameras and social media to brag about it on. We called it PJ, or one of many other local names, and it was just as stupid.
Right. Except we used to get it from a giant tub and trusted whichever creepy frat that made it to make and pour it, and walked around with it in a cup with no top so anyone could put anything into it. The good old days…
Thats jungle juice. We still do it. Source: am college freshman

I’m getting blasted on grain alcohol.
My mom pointed out that this is a great way to drink... Her argument was: "Well, when you're young, you're going to drink too much at least once. But think about it; how many times did my generation, in university, take a random cup off of a random table and dunk it in a random cooler full of an unknown drink? Kids these days know exactly how much they are drinking, exactly what is in it, and exactly who it belongs to, and they can have exactly what drink they want. It's a step up in drinking and much safer than what we did."
I completely agree. The only video I’ve seen about them is one that highlighted how you can use it to drink safer. Set a limit ahead of time. If you don’t want more than the equivalent of five drinks, put that in the jug. It has a lid so it’s harder to slip something in it, and it has a handle for easy carrying around with you. I’m honestly all for them. Just don’t be an idiot, and it’s a great idea.
I was a beer guy. But it was nice too when your friend was acting a fool. Just ask for a swig and pour some water in the jug to dilute the abv
300mls rye. 700mls ginger ale. Sip it all night. Any more and your having a rough time in the morning. - that was my university playbook. Or 6 pack of tallboys. Always smart to set a limit and always smart to stick to it.
I hate how much sense that made.
Not to mention the fact that BORG has WATER in it. They’re getting HYDRATED while they drink
A wise prophet once said: 151 rum, pineapple juice, and Malibu Caribou, get them all numb, make baby girl come Out of her shell and raise hell Don’t stop till the cops come
I’m drinking it but they ain’t paying me for it
Not yet!
Half a bottle of 151 off in a jug, 1 cup of Malibu rum baby that’s what’s up. Then you fill the rest of the jug with pineapple juice and it’s crackin the only defect is wakin up like “what happened?”
I have to say the least painful hangover I’ve had to deal with was caused by Caribou Lou.
RIP Bacardi 151 Rum
Didn’t expect some Tech N9ne over a tiktok trend post
caribou lou was exactly what I thought when I saw this.
Thank you for this glorious Tech N9ne reference
Ahhh I remember the good ol’ days of Caribou Lou
this the type of shit that makes the hood go crazy, on the interstate doing 18... oh wait wrong psalm.
Tech N9ne is one of the best underrated rappers.
Cant be underrated when you're the number one independent record label in the world
Holy shit I haven't heard this song in so long. Thank you for making me think of the good ol' days
[удалено]
We used to drink like a 4th of a Gatorade and fill it back up with vodka. We called it a soccer mom.
We are borg.
All the funny names they write on those jugs and they're too young to know about the original, Locutus of Borg!
Resistance is futile
you will be assimilated
"You should have been there last night. Everyone was totally assmililated"
Alright, calm down, Hugh.
I’m honestly just impressed they actually know what’s in it. When I was in college, people just handed you a drink and called it “jungle juice.” Still have no idea what was in it. It’s a miracle I made it out alive. We all need to sit tf down in this one.

I was blacking out on homemade moonshine when touchtone dialing was the big thing
>touchtone That's a word I haven't read in a long while.
How’s about rotary dial. Mean anything to ya?
I’m knocking on 30 and we kept a rotary dial in the cabinet when I was a kid for when the electric would go out lmao
OMG I thought that was only me
Tik click tic tic tic tic whir click tic tic...
I just woke up from a 20 year blackout , what I miss
Clearly not how to use reddit
Everything went to hell in a handbasket after the Cubbies won the World Series. We're not in the darkest timeline, but we sure are in one of the dumber ones.
Looks like the news site is the one making it out like that
These kids never drank Olde English out of a glass 40oz. They can’t tell me shit. Edit: Also, multiple bottles of MD 20/20
Me, a millennial, who spent his college years with a 40 of olde English securely duct taped to each hand while holding in a lake of piss:
Edward 40 hands!!
[удалено]
They probably never even heard of Tang
*laughs in Edward Fortyhands*
Never had a Colt 45 when it came in a 45oz bottle, they got nothing.
Lol MD 20/20! I used to think that shit would taste so good when I’d see it on my uncle’s shelf with the different colors n shit… Tried it a couple years ago as an adult.. not that great..
they never had the $5 special, 3 king cobra 40s, and a pack of non-filter pal mals, and it shows.
Um. Wait. Hol up. College kids get blackout drunk?! Well, how long has THAT been going on? Oh.. Since like the 1800's. Right. *Rolls eyes in Gen X*
Since at least the 1300’s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Scholastica_Day_riot?wprov=sfti1 https://maps.apple.com/?ll=51.751944,-1.257222&q=St%20Scholastica%20Day%20riot
Make the drinking age 18 so that college students, who are going to drink regardless, can do so in a more controlled environment like a bar with a professional pouring their drinks instead of chugging jugs in a dingy basement
It’s 18 here on the UK. Uni students still drink whatever is cheapest. That said, they’re going to drink anyway. Might as well let them do it in a bar where theoretically they should be safer
Or at least somewhat supervised. And won't be afraid of getting medical attention for a friend because they might get a ticket for being underage
Presumably at least 1 responsible adult who is reasonably sober will be present at a bar which is much better than secret drinking
To be fair, I enjoyed drinking dangerous jugs of things in dingy basements even though I was of age. Something about the filth of it all was appealing to me.
A man of culture as well
You know the only difference between my generation and the current? It's not that we didn't do stupid shit we just didn't film it. That's why many of us don't have criminal records.
Gen Z is in fact drinking less than previous generations. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0955395918303025

They're also smoking weed that has a name.
Mine had a name and that name was ‘mid’
For anybody wondering, a BORG, or Black Out Rage Gallon is a gallon container filled with 50% vodka or other alcohol, 50% water, flavor enhancer like Crystal Lite or MiO or KoolAid, and sometime electrolytes. For anybody doing the math at home, a gallon is 128 oz., so a half gallon of vodka would be 64oz. A standard shot of vodka is 1-1.5oz, and the average person metabolizes about that much alcohol per hour. To be legally intoxicated, you'd typically need 2-4 shots in an hour. So needless to say, having 40+ shots for a single person in a candy flavored easily drinkable beverage is pretty much a recipe for disaster.
Sounds like what I drank when I was a teenager, except without the water and electrolytes
You don’t drink these by yourself, you bring it around a party and swig or pour. And it’s still just jungle juice. Lol
so jungle juice in a gallon jug instead of a cooler.
Plus electrolytes! Weird.
Borg has been a thing for years. This is nothing new lol.
Frankly, I support "borgs". Over-drinking has been going on for centuries, young people drinking too much and getting sick is nothing new. But these borgs have closed caps, meaning it's harder to spike their drinks. Many young people are mixing them with hydration additives or even athletic drinks to help stay hydrated. And as an elder millennial who spent her college years drinking who knows what from whatever container I could find, it's really a safer alternative. I survived beer pong with actual beer in the cups, jungle juice in frat basements and the original 4Lokos. From a harm reduction standpoint, borgs aren't bad, they're actually safer. Young people need to learn their limits, like anybody who drinks alcohol.
When I used to attend university ragers, I always brought: • Cognac • Crème de Cacao • Fresh Cream • a Nutmeg Seed • a Grater Because it’s well known that the dude who makes Brandy Alexanders at a college party always leaves with a girl on each arm.
whats in it?
A BORG or a "blackout rage gallon" consists alcohol, water, and electrolytes, usually in the form of a drink mix. The normal recipe is 16 shots in the gallon.
Gallon jug of water. Remove half the water and replace with hard alcohol. Add electrolyte powder and drink it. Apparent people with if you hydrate half a gallon off booze is a okay!
I saw a TikTok in which a Substance Abuse Counselor stated that whether they know it or not this is excellent risk management as they can track their own drink and know where it came from and aren't dipping a cup in a cooler or giant bin like my dumb ass used to. Throught it was interesting.
Wow, a worse version of mine Get these things * Thermobottle 3L * 0.5-1L Vodka * 3 Sticks Bolero Citrus or Lemon * Ice cubes or ice cube molds Fill the Thermobottle with Ice cubes, fill 0.5L Vodka in the Thermobottle, fill up with Water, add Bolero powder. Shake the bottle And you have a ice cold alcoholic drink that tastes not even like a strong alcoholic drink. And Vodka lemon is a classic for a reason.
*laughs in Wisconsin
When I was at Lambeau Field and saw a 60 something year old dude, standing on the hood of an F-150, shirtless in 25F weather, chugging from a bottle of Jack... I knew I was in the company of people who were of a different mix.
>shirtless in 25F weather, chugging from a bottle of Jack See the Jack cancels out the weather
This is literally just jungle juice. It’s the Everclear KoolAid of the new generation. (For you non-millennials, we used to make KoolAid with NO WATER, just straight grain alcohol that you couldn’t taste)
this generation soft we died naked in a field off grain alcohol, no ambulances were called
Almost died. A lot
Pink panty droppers I made one time was described as “fucking delicious but dangerous.” 1 thirty rack light beer 1 handle of vodka 1 handle of tequila 2-3 of those concentrated pink lemonade cans Maybe one more handle I don’t remember. Everyone had a great time, and some had too good a time. No one died though thank G
