A few individuals and brands have taken it upon themselves to provide protesters with food and drinks. From the tweets, it looks like almost every meal has been on the menu. However, this is for those who will like to provide their own food. In the end, one can never really be so careful. Also, rumours have it that some people have contemplated taking alcohol during the protest, an action that could really jeopardise the protest.

Here is why you shouldn’t be drinking alcohol during the protest.

You really need to stay calm and focused on the cause. You don’t want to start misbehaving under the influence of anything including drugs and alcohol. You also need to be alert should there is an emergency and you need to act. You don’t want to get caught for fighting under the influence because the people won’t be using the money they have raised for other causes to bail you out.
