‘I need more beer!!’ – 93-year-old’s Facebook appeal goes viral
Staying at home to protect herself against the coronavirus, one 93-year-old had a big problem: she was running out of booze.
Olive Veronesi decided the best way to keep her supplies up was to get creative – and now, she’s gone viral on Facebook.
The pensioner, from Pennsylvania, was pictured holding a whiteboard that said: “I NEED MORE BEER!”
In her other hand? A can of Coors Light.
The photograph, taken through the window of her home, was uploaded to the Facebook page of a local TV station.
Since then, it has been seen by more than a million people.
Much more importantly, several people have offered to get the beers in for Olive.
