Alcoholic Mike Allen suffers from several ailments that keep him from being able to work, including degenerative arthritis in his back. Allen doesn’t like taking pain killers so instead he goes out every morning and picks bottles and cans. He averages about $10/day which is enough to buy a 6-pack of beer. |
