More than two dozen students at the University of Massachusetts' flagship campus were hospitalized for possible alcohol poisoning.
Several students were seen in videos walking in groups to the party known as Blarney Blowout with their drinks, dubbed BORGs on Saturday. The students taken to hospital are not pictured.
UMass Amherst officials say many students were seen carrying plastic gallon containers called "borgs," a homemade mix of alcohol, electrolytes and water.
