Nonprofit Teaches Alcoholics To Brew Beer

image
From Time:

Through a Canadian community services organization, alcoholics are learning how to make beer and wine, an effort to stop them from guzzling products containing alcohol that are not safe for human consumption. 

The Vancouver Sun  and The National Post report that The Portland Hotel Society runs “The Drinkers’ Lounge” at the Drug Users Resource Centre in Vancouver, where members pay about $10 for a beer or wine-making kit. A brewmaster walks them through the fermentation process, and in a month, they get to take home the alcohol they make while also donating a portion of it to an alcohol exchange in which members can swap alcoholic substances like hand sanitizer, rubbing alcohol, or mouthwash for safe beverages.
