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.

Hmmm... alcoholic drinks served by “nurses”.
How would the “common man” get in on that, uh, “program”? ROFL
WHAT COULD GO WRONG WITH THIS INSANITY??!?
And Paul, too, in between peter puffs.
For those who are alcoholics and druggies, along with your generous shots of vodka, you get a bag of Bad Mumbo chewy edibles.
What could go wrong?
Nurses serving drinks sounds like a sales approach.
I recall a burger joint that served huge burgers with everything on tbem. The waitresses were dressed in skimpy uniforms styled like nurse uniforms. The name of the place?
Heart Attack Burger, or something like that
Yeah, I remember that write-up!
I think this might be the place:

Is it really called a “Better Alcoholism Rehabilitation”?
With a name that long what do they call it for short?
Na zdrowie!
Even our homeless have it better than the rest of the world!
Curious, if I flew into SF for a 3-day weekend...could I get signed up for free booze claiming homeless status, and get a drink-all-you-want ‘deal’?
Further question...does anyone know of any other city in the US offering up free booze?
You could give it a shot.
What morons.
The alcoholics will take the free booze and still go out and buy their own on top of it.
Uh, consuming a substance you are addicted to...feeds the addiction...especially since in this case, it is not being given at moderate levels. A shot is not a moderate intake of alcohol...it’s a huge burst all at once.
well I’D drink to that. if they’ll let me.
yes...nyc. might have to run a short distance though.
Moderated alcohol programs have been found to be useless whenever tried. Trialed numerous times
No effectiveness.
Sort of like ny
Russia

How is this any different than giving drug addicts needles and a safe place, legalizing weed, gummies for the kids, legalizing hard drugs. We are being eliminated and replaced just look south
