The shocking video of a youthful Kenyan woman gulping a whole bottle of gin as a crowd cheered took the internet by storm. Another one showing her half-conscious status less than an hour later also went viral. The most appalling part throughout the footage is that the young woman is seen to be consuming undiluted gin, whose alcohol content is 40 per cent.
If the clips are anything to go by, the youth in this country are facing serious mental health issues which need urgent attention before they explode. Many individuals who develop substance use disorders (SUD) are also diagnosed with mental disorders, and vice versa.
