#GirlsWhoDrinkBeer: Women take a swipe at Goa chief minister, share photos of their drinks
Manohar Parrikar had said he was worried because women have started drinking beer.
Women took to social media on Saturday to respond to Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar after he said he was worried because “girls have started drinking beer”. Parrikar, who was speaking at an event on Friday, also spoke about the drug problem in the state.
“I have begun to fear now, because even the girls have started drinking beer,” Parrikar told his audience. “The tolerance limit is being crossed.”
Soon after the media reported his comments, women mocked the chief minister and shared pictures of their drinks. “C’mon ladies – let’s show these feudal jokers who is in charge in India,” wrote one Twitter user.
Ladies, let's drink our beer and laugh out loud.

Others pointed out that women do not drink only beer but whisky too, while Twitter user Irshad Daftari composed a funny poem on Parrikar’s “predicament”.
Should we tell him about the whiskey gently...? https://t.co/jWWwsyokr6

Now that girls are drinking beer
It will get much more risky
When they move on to whisky
Things were just fine
While it was still wine
And cost but a penny
To have some cashew feni https://t.co/JdZbLgypLC
It would make Mr. Manohar Parrikar to know that I, a girl, do not drink beer. I only drink whiskey ☺️ https://t.co/WYDAo0qjPI

Another Twitter user asked a pertinent question: is there any group that respects women’s freedom to make their own choice?
Right wingers say women should not drink beer.

Minorities say women should wear burkha.
Liberals say women should not wear marks of patriarchy like mangalsutra and should all be feminists.
Tell me, is there really any group that respects women's freedom and free choices?
