I'll give a cigarette if someone on the street asks, although they usually offer to buy one off of me.

I'll buy a cup of coffee if it's cold and I'm headed into Starbucks. Or, a sandwich if the person says they're hungry.

I try to fill the need. But, my got-to is I don't have cash. I live off my credit card. Sometimes I just throw up my hands and say, "Sorry man, I got kids." and they nod in understanding.

As for the addiction issue, hunger is hunger and just because you might have other issues going on doesn't mean you don't need to eat.

The only people I ever refer to as "beggars" are the moms I seem to attract who always ask for a favor and are never available when I need assistance. Oh, and 19th-century book characters. Sometimes while reading a book I'll fall into thinking of a character as a beggar because that's how they are continually described by the author. Otherwise, I think of human beings and human beings, even when they spend their days asking others for money.

"Don't be an asshole" is kind of a personal motto of mine. Try it.
