Revival, I do not think KG's logic is out of context as well. If we do not spend extra money in here, we would not even have to talk about this issue in here. Just look at this picture like this: $5 per day for cigarettes = $150 per month. $30 per day for alcohol (Like KG suggested) = $120 per month. It is almost $300 per month, and $3600 per year. Even if we send 3/5 thousand per year, that really helps parents a lot. This still doesn't answer your question "How do you all handle this?" though.
