Thanks, but I didn't ask for evidence that "alcohol poisoning is 5x higher in the homeless population", I asked for evidence that "people are mainly homeless in Finland because they would prefer to get drunk."

https://ysaatio.fi/en/housing-first-finland there's no extensive graphs, but this page mentions it briefly. There's also been some freelancer yle documents covering up some homeless people that mainly refuse the social benefits to get more money for their daily drinking. [1]

This does not support your claim. It's pretty clear that you didn't have the evidence before you made the claim, and you don't have it now.

Well, that’s all you’re going to get out of me. I gave you a 30 second google search. Have a great day!
Check out page 845 showing death by alcohol poisoning is 5x higher in the homeless population of Finland than the whole of the country.
FWIW, and anecdotally, my ancestry is Finnish and we are known for having issues with alcohol. The majority of my extended family has drinking issues. Within our Finnish-American community, it’s believed that Finns have some sort of gene that pre-disposes us to drink to excess.
