PHILADELPHIA - A years-old binge-drinking concoction popularized on college campuses is getting a second-life via social media, causing parents and health experts alike to warn young adults about its dangers.

The university sent out a warning to students and families after sickened students were seen carrying jugs containing BORG mix.
