Deadly trend: 50 people hospitalized for popular TikTok challenge

Trends in the popular social network have long ceased to look like ordinary fun pastimes. And a new challenge called BORG (blackout hidde gallon) not only leads to death but also leads to hospitalization of 50 students. Let’s explain what happened.

The task of the participant of this trend is to drink a mixture of 3.7 liters of strong alcoholic beverages. However, a person who is so drunk can lose his temper dramatically and after that it will be difficult to remember anything. The Daily Mail reports that the hashtag #BORG has already reached 70 million views on TikTok.

Doctors are not surprised by the number of hospitalizations. “This is a very large and very dangerous dose of alcohol that can lead to an overdose and death,” Jeremy Heillar told the publication. He also added that you can get physical injuries. Participating in the challenge is especially dangerous for those who drink little alcohol.

Earlier, the creators of the social network decided to add several features that would limit the time of using the platform for children and teenagers.
