San Francisco to Hand Out Free Shots of Vodka to Homeless Alcoholics

Sharing is Caring!

San Francisco’s controversial “Managed Alcohol Program” provides free booze to homeless alcoholics, sparking criticism from a tech CEO and raising ethical questions about enabling addiction.

This program is a misguided attempt at addressing the complex issue of homelessness and addiction. While the intention may be to prevent harm and reduce strain on emergency services, providing free alcohol only perpetuates dependency and exacerbates the cycle of addiction. It’s concerning that taxpayer funds are being allocated to sustain harmful habits rather than investing in comprehensive solutions that address the root causes of homelessness and addiction. San Francisco must prioritize evidence-based interventions that promote rehabilitation and long-term recovery, rather than enabling destructive behaviors.

A program that offers free booze to the homeless alcoholics that roam San Francisco caught flak this week when a tech CEO questioned the logic of feeding the addictions of the city’s street dwellers.

Adam Nathan, founder and CEO of the small business AI marketing tool Blaze and the chair of the Salvation Army San Francisco Metro Advisory Board, posted a thread on X slamming the program after watching a string of unhoused drunks line up for their shots, stating it “just doesn’t feel right.”

“Did you know San Francisco spends $2 million a year on a “Managed Alcohol Program?” It provides free Alcohol to people struggling with chronic alcoholism who are mostly homeless,” Nathan wrote on the social media site.
