Under special circumstances do you think the government could sponsor my drinking addiction?

Did a little research here CnG....came up with this little known federal agency called NAMBLA (National Association of\nMales Born with Liquor Addiction)...apparently they get funded mainly by a tax they charge on imported Canadian \nbeers and liquors. Their philosophy is that they are not \ngoing to change a hard drinking, good honest man...so why not feed his addiction so to speak. Apparently they send you a kind of debit card that you can use at the local \nliquor store. Will get back to you with more information on this.

Well, the first O will be Oregon and the P will be program. May be some kind of out reach clinic to get you to stop drinking.

It depends to large extent which country you are resident in, and what your residency status there is.  However, as a broad rule of thumb, it is HIGHLY unlikely that you will be entitled to any government support, let alone anything like that which you would be eligible for in the UK.

I am not sure if you are asking for facilities to allow someone to obtain alcohol, or support in giving it up.  For the former try a bar, for the latter go to your doctor - they will have details of all local schemes and facilities.

Only if you are a professional and legally licensed to do so; (e.i. psychiatrist, legal advisor, consultant, etc.)\n\n  Hope this helped.

Where there is a will there is usually a way. First you want money to drink alcohol that'll cause heart disease, liver damage, pancreatic damage and generally mess up your body. If that doesn't work then the sexual diseases will - in fact one or the other will probably kill you. Anyone want you dead enough to part with their money? As you have a computer you could write a blog about your exploits. Use MS word to do it. Save it. Then copy and paste it onto a blog site. If the perverts keep reading it and making comments - maybe - you're on to something. Take all your saved blogs and turn them in to a book. Call it "My life as a total Waster". It might sell well - and you could end up in the red light district of Amsterdam celebrating your success.

Government hates to loose money like that. OH, NO\nThey will never make it illegal. They want our tax money to support their lifestyles.\nRemember when alcohol was illegal in the old days?

Yes, the people can decriminalize drug use and provide alcohol drug abuse counseling, therapy, housing, medical treatment with educational and employment opportunities for those who are successfully into recovery.\nSound expensive, will we are not talking about just giving drugs out the backdoor. I worked for a non-profit that does a great job with this considerably less money than a profit type company can do, and the non-profit can do it better. \nMost of the Case Managers can be Peer-Counselor with Professional Supervision. \nJust think about all the money we will save if prison space is opened up,  the cost of Policing these problems are lowered, and you can start shutting down the War On Drugs because it is a giant dollar drain. I guarantee the results would be absolutely fantastic. \nIf you don't believe me, get some information on a non-profit named Swords To Plowshares in San Francisco. Ask for the Manager Michael Blecker.

No.  The gov't has no way of controlling it therefore being unable to tax it.  No money for the gov't = No legal weed for USA.  It is legal in some states for medicinal purposes, but you can still be tried federally for it.  (Which is so bizarre, I thought the state had supremecy in something like that).  It's just amazing that alcohol and cigarettes do SO much damage to your body and marijuana does virtually nothing & is sometimes helpful.  It helps with my anxiety.  Legalizing it would also put us in a different state from the rest of the world, there are countries in which you can lose your life for carrying a spliff.  Up until a couple years ago, England treated marijuana offenders the same way they treated cocaine/heroin offenders.

No. Drinking substandard beer is not charity, it's just plain bad judgment. With so many great microbrews available in the U.S., sending money to Mexican breweries might be considered un-American under some parts of the Patriot Act.\n\nHomeland Security might park a white van across the street from your house and wire your taps to find out what you're pouring at home. Do not. I repeat, do not, drink Mexican beer past Cinco de Mayo.

The answer is yes.  However you cannot choose whether to become addicted or not.  Eventually your body would feel that it cannot preform the same without it.  The whole situation is a very slippery slope and i would not reccomend it.

if you get Coca Cola to sponsor it, you can give free refreshments. I think that's about it.\nif I were you, I would look at having three or four sponsors for various things.

yeah its possible but like any other addiction it is not healthy  you need to talk to some one about your addiction especially if it is affecting other parts of your life like your job or your relationships

OF course..why not? And, I assume that somehow, someone, sometime, will tell you what they may need...within your ability to afford. And, I suppose the best thing you could give them would be your support.

It's a main part in the usual supporting activities. \nI've to point it out the country you are coming from is not deserved as alcohol-free!

Actually, yes I do. I took a class on drugs and drug dependency years ago, and I was really stunned at how many problems are caused by alcohol, yet it's legal. It can't be just a health issue, or cigarettes would be illegal, too. It's all politics.....
