For the life of me, I can't figure out why homeless alchoholics are less worthy of our money than the famous ones.

I'm one who will not give money to panhandlers. It's a habit I learned years ago when working in a downtown church. The police told us to give them peanut butter sandwiches. Nourishing and filling.

I've offered to take these guys to a hamburger shop and buy them a burger.

Only one ever took me up on it.

Should we encourage homeless alcoholics to keep drinking by giving them money?

Can't Peanut Butter sandwiches be bartered for hooch almost as easily as money in some urban centers? It wouldn't suprise me.

Should we encourage homeless alcoholics to keep drinking by giving them money?

Considering how many other alcoholics and druggies we finance through ordinary product consumption, I don't see why not.
