Reactions and Concerns

The video quickly gained traction, with users flooding the comments section with witty remarks and ethical concerns. Some joked, calling the fish ‘Kingfisher,’ while others criticized the act as animal abuse. Several users tagged PETA, urging the organization to take action against what they perceived as cruelty.

Scientific Perspective

Research on Zebrafish at New York University shows that alcohol affects fish behavior, causing them to swim faster in groups at moderate intoxication levels but leading to sedative effects at higher concentrations. Alcohol can be harmful to fish, causing disorientation and impairing swimming, with prolonged exposure potentially impacting their nervous system and organ function.
