Beer with kicking Cricket World Cup

Cricket is the common religion of Indians. We might have any disparities in opinions and living standards but everyone gets united for one cause of Cricket. With World Cup 2011 bringing the arch rivals India and Pakistan face to face in semis, cricket fever is back at its peak. Cricket fans in nook and corner of India show passion for their loved teams but worrisome point is youth are drinking alcoholic beverages excessively during these matches.

Youth in metros and cities in between 16 and 20 years of age raised their drinking potential by 100% from two beers to four beers during day night matches, says a survey by commerce chamber, while those between 21 to 25 years increased their capacity to seven beers and the sales of whisky, vodka, rum and wine raised by 25%.

In Hyderabad, we are to witness a special screening of India Vs Pakistan match on 30th at GMC Balayogi Stadium with a crowd of 30,000 and interestingly we are served with liquor even here too. So beer and cricket turns to be a kicking combination.
