Over the Xmans holidays, I cleaned out the spirits cupboard - about 12 bottle of full / half bottles of rubbihs holiday bought spirits- Turkish "Chin", Belizean rum, Some Slovak home distilled Slivovitz etc, and took them up to a park on the OKR where piss artists hang. I presented the box of shite to the street drinkers and ran away


was this a bad or good thing ?

Bad bad bad thing. Slivovitz was responsible for one of my worst hangovers of all time, evil evil evil.


And I recall this great advice from a war photographer


"Never photograph a retreating army, was one of them. And never refuse Slivovitz from a commander was the other one. Never trust [anyone with] an AK-47 who is under 11 years old. And then the last one, which is the only serious one, really, is, always remember that no picture is worth your life. That's the most important one, going into any given situation, realizing that you can walk away having missed fantastic images, and that's OK, because the point is to be able to take pictures tomorrow."

Hey, I've just had an idea, I've got some left over smack in the cupboard from a few years back, there are a few junkies up the park there, do you reckon they would really appreciate it if I went in and dropped it in on them? yeah why not, lets just add to their voluntary suffering/self-abuse eh, after all they're bound to get it from somewhere else anyway, erm....so I may as well go and help them along their way.....well thats helping out society......

Max when people are at this stage of street drinking, they really will find a way, and if they don't, as ratty points out, they can become very ill. Cold Turkey is not a good thing!


Now I know it may seem funny to give these people more drink, but surely that's better than letting them lie, cheat, and steal to get the next drink?


All one can do is hope that these people will come to a stage where they are ready to fight it... Some will, and some will drink themselves to death, that's the reality of it, but giving them a drink isn't going to make a difference either way in the long run.

The effects of alcohol are just as bad as drugs, I'm just trying to say why stop at giving away your excess booze to these poor ba*#strds, why not give druggies your excess drugs too! druggies lie, cheat steal the same way but you wouldn't go giving them drugs just because you had excess at home. Drug addicts also become ratty and cold turkey isn't very nice in either scenario, but morally not sure I agree with this one.

Definitely a good thing.

I used to busk as a tap dancer in Leicester Square. I had quite a following amongst the local homeless - probably cause I was a weird little wild thing who did the splits and high kicks. We had a good mutual relationship - they looked out for the old bill and would let me know when they were on their way so I could gather my things and quietly sneak away (try doing that wearing tap shoes) and in return I bought them bottles of cider. Contentment all round.
