Instead, the bum used the money to buy a cheap bottle of wine over at Reidy Wine & Liquor over on 8th Avenue and is now pissing the remnants of that booze into the street.
Never, ever give money to a panhandler! This is what you end up enabling.

I totally agree.
Out here in the Los Angeles region we have professional beggars.
They stand out beside freeway off-ramps and other places, begging for money. Then they walk around the block to their new parked car and drive to their upscale home, with tax free money.
You get a husband and wife both working that routine, and you can make a fairly reasonable income out of it.
Just after buying some take-out lunch for myself, I came across a homeless woman on the sidewalk. She begged for money. I offered her my bag of food, thinking now she won't have to buy any food. She refused and replied "No. I don't eat on Tuesdays, that's my drinking day. I'll take change."
Nothing like Mad Dog 20/20 with a Colt.45 40 oz. chaser. S-m-o-o-o-o-o-th!
