Ontario's Sterno Consumption To Drop In 1st Quarter
Breaking news from our friendly socialist neighbors to the North: Free alcohol may actually help the homeless.
Researchers handed out a gratis glass of wine or sherry every hour to seventeen chronic alcoholics at an Ottawa shelter. At the end, they noted that except for three who quit the study and another three who died (of "alcohol-related diseases") in the process, the others all reported improved sleep and better hygiene in addition to decreased overall consumption of both regular alcohol and the "non-beverage" variety (e.g., Sterno and Listerine).
"They'll never be fully integrated into society, but they'll be less of a drain and even contributors," said one author of the study.
Yes, that is a real quote from the article. Seems a little heartless to me, not to say flat-out cynical. But then, i'm not a university professor like he probably is, so i lack that exclusive authority of sensitivity arbitration. We'll just trust him on it.
Also, speaking of insensitivity, what am i doing paying rent and looking for a job? Where was that Immigrate-To-Canada phone number again? I knew i should've kept it. Maybe Alec Baldwin can get it for me....
