There are fears a dangerous new TikTok trend that sees people try to down 3.7 litres of alcohol could cause chaos in Australia.
The so-called BORG drinking challenge is spreading throughout the US and has even seen 50 students at the University of Massachusetts taken to hospital.
BORG is short for 'blackout rage gallon' and involves people drinking large plastic jugs containing a combination of hard liquor, mixers, water and sweeteners.
It also includes electrolyte tablets to help those taking part 'avoid a hangover'.
A 3.7-litre borg even half-filled with spirits could equal about two bottles of vodka, rum or tequila.
