#GirlsWhoDrinkBeer Trends After Manohar Parrikar’s Women-Beer Jibe

Video Producer: Anmol Saini

Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar has a rather odd complaint. "I have begun to fear now, because even the girls have started drinking beer. The tolerance limit is being crossed," said the chief minister of the coastal state that boasts the tag of being one of the world’s most sought-after tourist destinations.

His sexist remark drew severe flak, with Twitter user @TedhiLakeer sparking a nationwide trend when she asked women to share photos of them enjoying some beer, with the hashtag #GirlsWhoDrinkBeer.

To Sir, With Love.

Cheers from Goa, Mr Parrikar! #GirlsWhoDrinkBeer
C’mon good ladies, let’s make this weekend worth it. Use the hashtag and share your beer 🍻 pics on my timeline.

At an Indian Wedding Party

Uncle (host) to the girlfriends of his daughter (whose wedding it is) - "Beta, kya lengi aaplog?" (Pointing to the bar)

Girls - "Ek beer, uncle."
Uncle (with disdain) - "Breezer le lo! Kaisa lagega sabhi k saamne ladkiyan piye?" #GirlsWhoDrinkBeer pic.twitter.com/lv7yHrkUgC
