Demographic Correlates Associated with Blackout Rage Gallon (BORG) Drinking Knowledge and Participation Among College Students.
Article in Substance use & misuse, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveAn emergent and concerning alcohol use trend among college students is the consumption of a "blackout rage gallon" (BORG)-a gallon jug filled with a mixture of alcohol (often vodka), caffeinated beverages, water, and flavor enhancers. The aim of this exploratory study was two-fold: (1) to describe U.S. college students' direct and indirect experience with BORG drinking and (2) to identify demographic factors that correlate with BORG consumption among college student drinkers.
methodsA cross-sectional study of college students (
resultsThe majority of nondrinkers (62%) had not heard of BORG while the majority of current drinkers knew someone who engaged in BORG (31.9%) or had tried BORG themselves (20%). Participants who had engaged in BORG drinking were significantly younger than those who had heard about BORG drinking (
conclusionsBORG drinking represents a novel and potentially widespread phenomena among college drinkers. Additional research is needed to understand the motivations for BORG drinking, and how BORG drinking fits into the landscape of college alcohol use behaviors. These data are essential for developing timely and appropriate interventions to reduce immediate and long-term harm from this hazardous drinking practice.
