The federal government is spending $2.6 million to encourage China's prostitutes to drink less

Fox news

The National Institutes of Health is funding a 5-year study in China's Guangxi province to make sure prostitutes in a tourist town there are drinking responsibly.
That's the goal of a five-year study, bankrolled by the National Institutes of Health, designed to help lower HIV infections among China's "female sex workers," who are referred to in the study as "FSWs."

Researchers will visit 100 houses of "ill repute" for the purposes of "collecting data" on 700 prostitutes, and 150 pimps and madams.

The project comes thanks to a grant from the NIH's National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, which is also funding a $400,000 study of bars in Buenos Aires to find out why gay men engage in risky sexual behavior while drunk -- and just what can be done about it.

I saw this earlier and thought it so ridiculous I couldn't even think of what to post.
