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.

Nurses assess patients and typically serve them the equivalent of 1-2 drinks between three and four times a day — handing out either 1.7 ounces of vodka or liquor (about a shot), 5 ounces of wine (1 glass) or 12 ounces of beer - about three-quarters of a pint.

Experts involved in the program say that it has actually helped to keep homeless alcoholics out of hospitals, jails, and even from dying.

It's a way of keeping the homeless industrial complex in a growth phase for money laundering. Unbonded and untaxed alcohol is cheap as dirt. Realistically, they are not giving them ENOUGH alcohol anyway since most advanced alcoholics will want at least a fifth a day if not more.

Complete horse shit. It's the poison that keeps them returning to emergency rooms, jails, and doesn't do a thing to prevent them from dying or seeking even more alcohol.

Giving any addict or alcoholic even a single dose feeds their uncontrollable urge and incontinent usage. Inversion lie. It keeps them dysfunctional, but attracted to any minimal source available. It's an incentive to remain alcoholic and for homeless alcoholics to come to San Francisco.

Keeps them drunk and homeless and on the streets for the Homeless Industrial Complex, and attracted like moths to a flame for their basic dose of their drug of choice.
These are assertion fallacies disguised as the usual virtue signaling. Beware the virtue signalers, because they deceive and have the tails of scorpions? Disguise ulterior motives in some kind of Inversion virtue signal and Bob's your uncle.
