24 Hours St. Patrick's Day Drunks

Those 24 Hours haters out there should check out todays issue. For the St. Patrick's Day cover they really went above and beyond the call of duty. I'm not sure what I like more. The St. Patrick's Day scap book cover - and really is that a leprechaun? Yikes! - or the thinly vailed fun real serious headline "Free Booze for Drunks?" Perhaps it is simply the ironic placement of both on St. Patrick's Day.

Here's he details on that free hooch, drunks:

"Vancouver should explore a harm-reduction plan that could see red wine given to hard-core street alcoholics, says the city's drug policy coordinator.Such a program would target homeless alcoholics who may now be drinking extremely harmful substances such as after-shave or Lysol to feed their addictions."

Now this is what I call some good journalism.
