Oh, when they say Skid Row, they mean the 50 block one in LA (the most famous one). Maybe SF is different.

It seems alcohol is still the most abused substance in the homeless population. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29852450/

AFAIK "Skid Row" is a generic term, and I did reference SF's specific area.

This is basically what you'll see every few feet in San Francisco's Tenderloin district:

(Warning, extremely graphic)

Alcohol is certainly abused, but not as publicly as Heroin/Fentanyl....
