    Amsterdam has a deal for alcoholics: work paid in beer

    Many over in the meds thread like to point to The Netherlands as an example of a society that treats addiction in a progressive way. Not anymore. Addict? Why get help when you can get a job that pays you in beer and tobacco? Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting.

    In the middle of my life's journey, I found myself in a dark wood, as I had lost the straight path. It is a difficult thing to speak about, how wild, harsh and impenetrable that wood is. Just thinking about it recreates the fear. It is scarcely less bitter than death, but in order to tell of the good that I found there, I must tell of the other things I saw there. --Dante, paraphrased

    Amsterdam has a deal for alcoholics: work paid in beer

    I was watching a doc on youtube about booze and how someplace in washington has an apartment complex for homeless alcoholics,they get to drink all they want,some have a quantity doled out by staff,some go buy their own,kinda weird i think it was called "drugged-the price of alcohol"or something like that
    I have too much shit to do today and tomorrow to drink:sohappy:

    I'm taking care of the "tomorrow me":thumbsup:
    Drinkin won't help a damn thing! Will only make me sick for DAYS and that ugly, spacey dumb feeling-no thanks!
