They get drunk on mouthwash. Unless they hit a big wad from a tourist, then they get the good stuff.
Smokes are near $6 a pack now. Even with the expense, they smoke like a freight train on a long climb.
As for the food issue. I watched a tourist get hit up and she refused to give them money. She purchased enough food and coffee for both the beggers. When she gave it to them, they threw it at her. Remember that we have shelters that supply all the food they need. If they are begging, it is usually for alcohol or smokes.
