Woman, 93, who used sign to ask for more beer gets huge delivery

With much of the world currently on coronavirus lockdown, it has become more difficult to get our hands on items we would have otherwise bought with ease.

In Pennsylvania, for instance, residents have been encouraged to stay at home as much as possible, to refrain from non-essential travel and to buy food and beverages no more than once a week.

Now beer isn't exactly an essential item, but one lager-loving lady aged 93 came up with an ingenious idea to get more beer without her having to leave her house.

Olive Veronesi of Seminole, Pennsylvania, took a whiteboard, wrote the words "I NEED MORE BEER!!" and held it up by the window in her home - while also holding her beloved Coors Light beer.

Per KDKA-TV, a relative of Veronesi took a photo of the 93-year-old holding up the sign and posted it on social media, where it has since gone viral.

In fact, it received so much attention that Molson Coors Beverage Company decided to gift the lady 150 cans of beer!

This Chinese grandmother, 103, recovered from coronavirus in just six days:

The station has since posted the image on its own Facebook page, writing in the caption: "TOO FUNNY: 93-year old Olive Veronesi from Seminole, PA is doing her part to stay home and stay safe, and she’s sending this message to her neighbors and to her daughter."

Speaking to KDKA-TV, Veronesi said: "I was on my last 12 cans, I have a beer every night, you know what, beer has vitamins in it, it's good for you, as long as you don't overdo it."

Mark Linder of Molson Coors Beverage Company said told the station: "My associate and I put in 10 cases of beer, and drove up, and made sure Olive got her beer so she can continue her healthy regimen of a Coors light a day."

Good on you, Ms. Veronesi!
