Okay, so she drinks like a fish...

A government minister in Zimbabwe says work has stopped on new reservoirs because workers have been scared off – by mermaids.
Water resources minister Samuel Sipepa Nkomo told a parliamentary committee that terrified workers were refusing to return to the sites, near the towns of Gokwe and Mutare.
Minister Nkomo said the only way to solve the problem was to brew traditional beer and carry out rites to appease the spirits.
Because if there’s one thing mermaids can’t get enough of, it’s beer.
