Well I've seen some sad old shit on my travels at this time of morning, but someone begging for 2 cans of 50p lethal out of date cider, is a new one, thank fuck I gave booze up, and the cunt in the shop actually gave him some tick (credit)

Probably still be better for you than a Can of fizz/umpteen tea spoon fulls of sugar
Probably wanted it for that 5 minutes of high that drugs give you before you fall back reality again
Alcohol(A depressant) in moderation is fine but very few drink that little

Kinder not to when its all said and done...until they stop getting leg ups they'll never hit rock bottom
Like the typical down & out guy standing on the corner asking for spare change with some luke warm reason of buying a coffee
I used to take them at face value until I started offering to buy it for them and got refused everytime
Giving money in what ever amounts never solved anything and more times than nought it just compounds an already serious problem
Like Bus drivers who allow alcoholic/drunks on board out of pity again & again.I'm not saying refusing them would solve their drink problem but then you never know,that just might be the bottoming out that makes them wake-up
