I actually don't have a problem with this. Hospitals get badly-needed blood, and donors get free alcohol, which gets them drunk more quickly because they have less blood in them. It's the very definition of win-win! Maybe I'm missing something: "A BOOZE company has been slammed after it was caught bribing students to give blood in return for free ALCOHOL. Cash-strapped teens flocked to a temporary blood bank in order to get their hands on free Turbo shandy — a potent mix of four per cent alcoholic lemonade and lager." Oh, right, the shandy part is what seems objectionable.I seem to remember a bar in Cleveland getting in trouble for offering free beer to people who donated a pint of blood. Apparently, it may be against the law in Ohio for a liquor establishment to give away beer for free. Damn government regulations.
Update: Maybe they didn't get in trouble. Here is coverage of the event originally, but I couldn't find a story about the Liquor Control Board raising a fuss.
