One situation that the overflow jug would cause an overheat condition would be if the hose and/or connectors were plugged up or blocked. NOTE: before disconnecting anything to do with the radiator, ensure the engine is COOL! The cooling system operates under significant pressure.

Why does your radiator sound like its drinking anit-freeze when you open the overflow tank?
When you drive the overflow is pressurized when the engine heats up. As it cools down, the engine will "drink" the anti-freeze out of the overflow reservoir. It is most likely making a sound like when you turn a milk jug upside down and let it drain? Chug, chug,...etc. A vacuum occurs in the overflow reservoir when the anti-freeze is taken back into the system and you are hearing the equalizing of pressures...like a milk jug.

Why would the anti-freeze in a 1993 Grand Am 2.3 sohc keep boiling out of the radiator cap?
Hey Willie==If it comes out the cap and not the overflow jug, the cap is faulty plus what is causing it to get hot. 'Check the fans for proper operation. If it isn't smoking white smoke, it probably isn't the head gaskets. A stuck thermostat will also cause it ot overheat. If all else fails, take it to a radiator shop and have the radiator flow tested. GoodluckJoe
