Now she was unconscious human gunch. The places drunks live in are appalling. Abandoned houses are a favorite. You find floors covered with filth and sausage cans and sardine tins. They stink because the denizens often use the floor for a bathroom.
Bottles lie everywhere.
They drink it, sleep it off, and do it again. Food gets forgotten. From a cop's point of view, the question is what to do with them. On a slow night, jail represents warmth and survival, and cops will sometimes arrest drunks for that reason. Sometimes jails are full, and detox too, and neither will take them.
