San Francisco buys vodka shots for homeless alcoholics in taxpayer-funded program

Can this country get anymore insane?
The City of San Francisco is providing free beer and vodka shots to homeless alcoholics at taxpayer expense under a little-known pilot program.
Another taxpayer funded program that does nothing to solve a problem but rather enables an already existing problem. All brought to you by our liberal democrats who seem to want to make the abnormalities of society accepted as the new normal.

How about send them to AA meetings.

@Spoiledbrat That is certainly mentioned more than once in any discussion of problem drinking.
Judges regularly recommend that lawbreakers attend AA as a condition of release or probation.
It is otherwise a voluntary support program and someone has to be ready for it and want it.
Street level addicts are not often in this category. Most of them know the help is there if they so choose.
@dubkebab They need a reason to do it

@Spoiledbrat a reason to sober up? yeah,I know a lot about that.
I can definitely relate. @dubkebab

@Spoiledbrat I favor open,honest discussions of this.
The best/hardest thing I've ever done for myself was quit drinking.
Today I have a life I could barely imagine...good and bad.
But I want people to know that help and support are available.
This issue transcends class,politics,background etc.
