Stay for free: friends, girlfriends, family, etc. I have a pretty decent group of friends so I tended to crash at someone's place for a week or two, move someplace else and repeat. Just be a decent guest and most people are surprisingly reasonable about it.

Get money: got cds, dvds, etc? Most chain stores buy these back at pretty decent prices. Got a checkbook? Most grocery stores will let you write checks for cash back up to $120-150/week. If there are 3 grocery stores in your area, this is an easy $3-450. Credit cards are obvious, but it's easier to get store credit cards. Jewelry store credit card: pawn stuff, find people who are going to buy [censored] anyway and convince them to give you $ for the thing at a discount, etc. Straight up borrow if necessary.

Also, great places to get money: bars. You need to develop a couple of regular bars, like bars where you won't get thrown out if you don't order anything and where you can hang out and have a reasonably good time. Then make conversation with people, make friends with drunks (this is easy). They will ask why you're not drinking, you say something like "I dunno, I'm not really feeling like partying too much tonight I guess". If you have done this correctly, they will offer to buy you drinks (they will insist). Drunk people are also easy to convince to make wagers. I made $20 last night by betting a kid he'd miss his next beer pong shot (he was trashed and there was 1 cup left but he made the bet anyway so as not to look like an ass).

Also, most bars will have chicks who you can stay with for free. They might be ugly, but ugly chicks are always more willing to have you over. That's really more of a last-resort option though.

Beer is pretty easy... just find people to drink with. Bars are necessary. Stay at a bar long enough and you will end up drunk. As long as you're reasonably OK looking and a decently personable guy you should have no problem swinging free drinks, etc at a bar in an hour or so. Weed is a little trickier, but invariably if you hang around a bar long enough you will find someone who's enough of a loser that he'll let you smoke for free if you'll just be friends with him.
