And alcohol makes the time pass faster, makes the live more bearable. This man will say you helped him, even though the topic is controversial. Good of you for challenging your own worldview!

Dobby wrote: I have to disagree. Beer doesn't actually feed him so his body will continue to deteriorate, alcohol also dehydrated you as well so that will also damage him, and the warmth is a false warmth and if he's living on the street can lead to hypothermia and possible death. Perhaps next time treat to a meal or pay for a couple days in a motel so he can shower and sleep in a warm bed.
