Its really hard to say for certain what percentage of homeless people imbibe illegal/legal drugs. Until there is a 100% accurate census of the homeless, no truly accurate percentages can be deduced.
With that said, it depends on where you're at. If its a big city, then the percent of homeless using illicit drugs is increased, and if its a smaller city, then the chances of alcohol abuse is increased.
This would make for an interesting study, actually, but the legwork involved would be much too tedious and difficult for a single person to collect any significant amount of data.

How can you stop gambling addiction without affecting the growth of the income generation by the casino industry?
Compulsive gamblers are a small percentage of gamblers, just as problem drinkers, and problem drug users are a small percentage of all drinkers and drug users. Don't worry, the casinos would adjust the odds in the unlikely event that it ever came to that. The only thing slowing that industry down is licensing.
