Internet reacts
The visuals showing youngsters blind drunk raised eyeballs after it went viral on social media. It triggered reactions on X where netizens expressed their views on the incident displaying the youths partying to get uncontrollably high. Honestly, the internet found it concerning for the country where the new generation was lost in the influence of alcohol.
"What is wrong with people? I understand partying to some extent. But this is horrendous. They are barely able to walk on their own," tweeted an X user replying to the viral video. Calling the situation of youths partying without knowing their capacities and limits "pitiable," a user suggested that they need rehabilitation. On a different note, some still wrote, "That's up to them, and u r not judge."
People also addressed the point of how Kannada-speaking locals often feel extremely proud of their language and culture and asked whether such westernised party sense was acceptable in the light of the ideas ever preached. With respect to this, a few believed (in a racist manner) it was mostly the non-Kannadigas partying and getting drunk there.
