Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar on Friday sparked a controversy when he said that he had begun to fear the fact that even girls have started drinking beer now.
“I have begun to fear now because even the girls have started drinking beer… the tolerance limit is being crossed. Not all of them. I am not talking about this crowd (referring to the audience),” he said at the first edition of the State Youth Parliament organised by the Legislature Secretariat, Porvorim.
The women on Twitter, however, just got another reason to say cheers!
Here are the #GirlsWhoDrinkBeer, and there’s nothing you can do to stop them.
To Sir, With Love.
Cheers from Goa, Mr Parrikar! #GirlsWhoDrinkBeer

Hey @manoharparrikar. I know women who drink beer, wine, vodka & whiskey & some smoke pot too. They’re all smart, self-sufficient, strong women who don’t need your approval. That said, even when totally wasted, they make more sense than you do. #GirlsWhoDrinkBeer #GuysWhoTalkShit
