He claimed that the National Drinking Day celebration has the potential to reduce the high number of mental health cases in the country.
Dry Bone however cautioned that the celebration must be done in moderation to ensure the cardinal purpose is not defeated.
“Even if you are not a drunkard please do as much as possible to take one shot and be careful, drink responsibly. It doesn’t matter the kind of drink, whether it’s coke, beer or any of the bitters.”
