It's safe to drink water boiled in this glass IF no poisons have ever been put in the glassware. Borosilicate is the glass originally used to make Pyrex cookware--in Europe they still use it, but in the US a different glass is used that doesn't break as easily when dropped.

What might happen to a heated glass beaker made from material that does not contain boron?

Borosilicate glass has a low coefficient of thermal expansion, which makes it better for situations in which there are wide, rapid temperature changes. For example, if a standard glass container at room temperature is filled with boiling water, the danger of cracking and shattering is quite high due to the inside surface rapidly expanding while the outside is warming up more slowly. A borosilicate glass such as Pyrex doesn't expand nearly as much as plain glass (about one third as much as regular glass). It can thus survive temperature differentials that would destroy plain glass. It is for that reason that laboratory glassware is typically made of borosilicate glass. Based on the premise of the question, a heated glass vessel subjected to rapid cooling (e.g., filled with ice water) is susceptible to shattering into a gazillion shards and slivers of glass.

Differences between soda-lime glass and borosilicate glass?

Soda lime glass made from sand (silicon dioxide), soda (Sodium hydroxide or carbonate) and lime (limestone or other calcium source) The soda makes the sand melt about 2000F instead of about 3000F and the calcium makes it water resistant (sodium silicate is water glass and dissolves in water) Borosilicate is glass made from sand and boron compounds. The advantage is that it has a much lower coefficient of expansion (COE) which means it doesn't change size much when heated, which means it doesn't crack when heated. The disadvantage is that while it softens when heated in a torch, it doesn't flow much and needs to be heated hotter than soda lime. Boro is used for scientific glass apparatus and for art projects as well as cookware in the home. When you see someone working glass in a mall or arts showcase with a torch with a strong blue flame, they are working boro, in part because it can heat and cool without cracking with less care than is needed for soda lime.

Why is Pyrex rather than soda glass used in cooking glassware such as casserole dishes and saucepans?

Borosilicate glass was used originally by Corning Glass for all Pyrex products because of its high resistance to thermal shock. The new tempered soda lime glass does not have the same resistance. It is normal window glass that has been tempered to give it heat resistance. Tempered glass, though tougher than normal glass, can still be scratched. This compromises the integrity of the temper and, if moisture gets in, the scratches can cause problems. Borosilicate glass can be scratched as well, but it does not break in the same manner as tempered glass: instead of shattering into many small fragments, it snaps in large pieces.
