Sign my drunk ass up !
wow thats a different study lol neoOriginally Posted by smokymtnsteve
It should be noted that three out of seventeen of the participants died due to alcohol related illnesses. Not suprising considering they were probably drinking close to three bottles of cheap wine each.
Personally, I want to be on the beer plan. Maybe they'll offer up pints of Guinness.

Well, that's one way to save money. Give alcoholics a bunch of booze and let them die off so you don't have to feed, clothe and care for them any longer.Three of the 17 participants died during the program, succumbing to alcohol-related illnesses ...
... cost of around C$771 ($660) a month was partially offset by monthly savings of C$96 a month in emergency services, C$150 in hospital care and C$201 in police services per person.
Using this logic, one could make the case that cigarettes should be made available to the American public for free in order to save Social Security. The more people that die early due to lung cancer, the less SS has to pay out, and the longer it can stay viable.

and give the Meth addicts FREE METH!

Fifteen glasses of wine a day is alcohol abuse? Uh oh.
My wife gives money to homeless people (beggars).
I tell her if she really wants to make them happy she should give them a six pack of cheap beer and a pack of cigarettes
a few hours of bliss.
I'm addicted to hiking. You think they'll fund my habit?

Then airdrop in lots of guns and criminals from prisons.
Finally, have cameras placed in the ghetto in lots of locations and have a reality TV show each night in primetime highlighting the preceding day's events!
I'd even pay to watch that!
Also, lots of alcohol and drugs and prostitutes from around the country could also be dropped in.

You know they wouldnt spring for the good stuff. I can see them now distributing the endless cans of PBR.Originally Posted by mark10203
Or even worse... Does anybody remember the yellow cost cutter stuff you could get at Kroger. I remember one time seeing a yellow can with the cost cutter logo on it. Printed in plain black block text across the can "BEER". Mmmmm, now thats the good stuff.
I might go for that program if they provided a good Hefeweizen.
PBR is much better than that over-priced yuppie sludge Guinness.
According to most statistics, cigarette companies make 15-17 cents per pack proffit on the sales of their product. Here is a link to a table showing per state taxes on a pack of cigarettes. http://www.taxadmin.org/fta/rate/cigarett.htmlOriginally Posted by Frosty
Only 4 states tax less than the cigarette companies make on a pack. Tax rates range from .03 to 2.40 per pack. The last thing our loving federal govt. wants is to give cigarettes away for free. If anything, the next time there is a class action lawsuit against the cigarette companies, the states should be held with the cigarette companies in the litigation since they make more money than the tobacco companies do off of their product.
And you wonder why the tribes are able to sell cigarrettes online...

1. Get buzz from yuppie beer
2. 10w30 Guiness for car lube
(and everybody laughs at the joke they have heard before...)
guinness is the total package. dinner in a bottle. all the essential vitamins and nutrients and a s*** load of calories too. why is it though that the draft in the bottle or the can absolutely will not get you as lit as the good ole extra stout?
who the hell do you think you are? (picture stewies voice) there is certainly nothing wrong with PBR many a night s have i enjoyed punk porn and pabst at a bar near me. It may not be the champagne of beers but champagne is for sissys anyway. As far as guiness goes ill be doing some car bombs when i hit town this year so i wont nag the guinnes guzzelers either. ill be the guy sleeping on the side of the road on top of my tent that i was unable to put up drunk and in the dark beer cans whre my nalgene bottles should be because i tried to turn in my nalgenes for a bottle deposite when that particualr state dosent even recycle so they take them just to shut me up. paw.
