Kerala Boy Makes Wine Watching YouTube Videos, Friend Hospitalized After Drinking It

In a horrific turn of events reported from Kerala, a young boy made wine watching YouTube videos and sent his friend to hospital who drank the home-made alcoholic beverage. The incident transpired at a government school in Thiruvananthapuram earlier on Friday.

Following the incident, the police registered a case against the 12-year-old minor who made the grape wine. The police also informed the young boy’s parents and the relevant authorities about the legal consequences the minor may face.

According to Press Trust of India, the 12-year-old boy, whose name has not been revealed, made grape wine on his own by watching YouTube videos. He then served the beverage to his friend. The friend’s stomach couldn’t handle the genius of the young boy’s “innovation”, and had a bout of vomiting.

The boy’s friend was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital in Chirayinkeezhu from where he was discharged later. His health was reported to be stable after his visit to the hospital. During the interrogation, the young boy claimed that he made the wine using grapes as shown in YouTube videos. However, he did not use any alcohol as an ingredient. He also went on to bury the bottle underground as shown in the video.

For now, the police are awaiting chemical examination reports of the samples of the wine which would tell them whether the boy used alcohol or not.

The Facts of the Matter

There is no dearth of DIY (do it yourself) videos on YouTube which range from how to prepare a nice cup of coffee at home – to how to create an explosive device using day-to-day objects around us. In the right hands, these videos are a boon, in the wrong ones, they are curse.

Recently, a 12-year-old boy in Kerala stirred up controversy after he made a wine by himself watching YouTube videos, and sent his friend to hospital, who drank the beverage.
