Regardless, it is a bad decision by the homeless person and an example which a better informed author would have left out. Insomnia is less harmful than hypothermia.
It isn’t that alcohol doesn’t really warm you, it is worse than that. It actually makes your body core colder while giving the illusion of the opposite.
As someone who’s literally been in the figurative position you’re using to attack someone:
Neither I nor anyone else who’s experienced homelessness is a pawn for your Internet argument bullshit. How dare you? Go pay the next panhandler you see $50 as penance.
You are completely wrong. It is absolutely horrible and disgusting that you’re out here arguing that someone might want to freeze to death. These are the words of someone who’s never been more than a little chilly, not someone who’s had to struggle against the cold to survive.
Seriously, go give a homeless person $50 and get our shared struggle out of your mouth.
Then perhaps a better phrasing is “may be the only way to feel warm and get to sleep”, even if it doesn’t actually warm you.

You are assuming they were making an informed decision in order to paint me as a monster. Nice.
