Let's look for something positive here ....

How about modeling something along the lines of "opium parlors" in China?

There could be designated "drinking bars" (weak pun); patrons would go in, fully intending to drink until passed-out drunk. There might be a "flat fee" to be admitted (after all, when passed-out drunk, who can reach into their pocket for cash to pay the tab?). Transportation (away) would be provided.

Come to think of it, it could be a great idea for smokers, too. Attendees would first sign a waiver of liability (for the establishment's protection), and automatically exempt themselves from any health plan. That way, the rest of us, smarter, healthy people (non-smokers), would not have to subsidise their health care costs out of our increased health-insurance premiums. They are all going to die, anyhow; this would "speed-it-up". The world is over-populated, too; so this would be "Mother Nature's" way of culling the weak and diseased.

Same for fat / obese people. A "Hostess Twinky Parlor"; or "Fried Chicken and Dumplings Parlor" -- "all-you-can-eat !".

The government would be pleased to implement these "programs" (or "progrums", in Clinton-speak).

Is this a great country, or what? !
