The City of San Francisco is handing out bottles of beer, glasses of wine and shots of vodka to homeless alcoholics - and spending $5m a year on the program.
The alcoholic drinks are served by nurses as part of the city's 'managed alcohol program', which has been running for four years, as a way of taking care of vulnerable homeless people.
The program is designed to curb the amount of alcohol homeless people drink. It still allows them some, but in a more managed way, in the hope of curbing their addiction in a controlled manner.

TAXATION without representation. THIEVES.
Democrats really are stupid. I didn’t think they could top the trans movement or the rain tax but I really think Democrat politicians want mental illness to spread nationwide.
It’s no different at all. I thought of that , too.
What next? Government subsidized brothels?
The seniority system will be a nightmare.

Biden should put the veep in charge of that one. She has the experience!
They give needles to druggies, tents to the “homeless” and strong alcohol to alcoholics.
But NO free handouts for the people who go out every day to work. Instead, the government considers them privileged, and takes a chunk of their money.
How much do the nurses drink? How much do they take home or resale?
lol. I’ve used the example of “you’d never give an alcoholic free booze” as an example of how addiction isn’t something to be subsidized, against giving out free needles for heroin addicts.
Yet, here we are. Welcome to California.
You can’t make this stuff up.
This is yet more proof that we live in Clown World. Lefties are the Gacey-clowns preying on others.
MY ‘MOTHER’ was a STONE ALCOHOLIC.
THERE was no setting any limits with her consumption.
She finally died before turning 60—literally drank herself to death.

Funny how that works out
