Twitter recently was abuzz after radio and TV presenter, Dineo Ranaka, tweeted a photo of herself having a beer after a long day, with the caption, “After such a long day making magic, a cold beer is all that’s needed to unwind.”

Not long after the tweet, the radio personality received a lot of negative feedback.
So last night was interesting. I posted a pic of me having a beer and got a lot of negative response. Surely in 2018 women can choose their own drinks? What are your thoughts? #holdmybeer #internationalwomensday pic.twitter.com/FtuzU2q3vy

It didn’t take long for the #HoldMyBeer hashtag to trend, and it has since received mixed responses from both those pro women drinking beer and those against.
This is what has been going on, on Twitter:

As a woman in today's society, I fully support your sentiment that women today should have the freedom to choose the drink of their choice #HoldMyBeer https://t.co/tpC1Zq42Hg

I'm totes okay with being a beer guzzler. No one can tell women that its unattractive. In fact, someone #HoldMyBeer while I educate some tweeps on why an inclusive society is a thriving society. #InternationalWomensDay #IWD2018 #WomensDay pic.twitter.com/ZV5IhMzBlI
