It's as well you can't drink in my workplace.

I think this is a great idea. By making them eat they actually get food. Otherwise they will get minimal food intake because all their food will be spent on drink. This also gives them a sense of purpose even if it is only to get another beer.

Quote:
For years, a group of around 50 rowdy, ageing alcoholics had plagued a park in east Amsterdam, annoying other park-goers with noise, litter and occasional harassment.

If it solves the problem of them sitting in the park causing trouble because they can get beer just as easily by doing this and without the need to beg or pester other park users then it should be supported.

I read 'reintegrate' as 'reignite'. (8+0

If they drink enough it might happen. ;)

They should repeat the experiment with crack. It might inconvenience a few truckers who would lose out on some toothless oral pleasurings in a grotty car park. But the rest of would get mugged less, which seems nice.
