"Quite a few places" you say. Thats great, could you narrow it down a bit for me to a book, chapter and verse?

Not good enough sorry. The adulterer could have been the high priests daughter, rich mans daughter, one of his own sisters friends

The bible doesn't say he hung out with drug heads or prostitutes, or even the homeless. What it does say is that he went to the sinners. It does not how ever say what the sins were.

Mat 11:19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold, a gluttonous man and a wine drinker, and a friend of tax collectors, and of sinners. And wisdom was justified by her children.
Mar 2:15 And it happened as He reclined in his house, even many tax collectors and sinners reclined with Jesus and His disciples, for they were many. And they followed Him.
Mar 2:16 And the scribes and Pharisees seeing Him eating with tax collectors and sinners, they said to His disciples, Why is it that He eats and drinks with the tax collectors and sinners?
Mar 2:17 And hearing, Jesus said to them, Those who are strong have no need of a physician, but those badly having illness. I did not come to call the righteous to repentance, but sinners.

Quite a few places, actually. He was looking to help the "lost" and he did. More Christians should follow his example and stop bible thumping (or screaming) at others who choose not to follow that path. Get out there and feed the hungry, help the homeless, start rehab centers. Do some good works!

It didn't ever say he hung out with drug addicts. However, he did accept a tax collector, Matthew, as one of his disciples. And people felt about tax collectors back then the way we feel about the IRS.

actually, he did hang out with tax collectors, prostitutes and other sinners. One example of a prostitute was Mary Magdalene.

Jesus came to seek and save the lost (Luke 19:10). That would include the drug addicts, prostitutes, homeless, etc...

He saved an adulterous woman from a crowd who wanted to stone her (with rocks, not drugs). He then said, "Sin no more".

He didn't hang out with them, but He gave them a chance when he came across them. Like the woman they were getting ready to stone, and told them "let he who has no sin cast the first stone" and they all fled and he saved her.

He was seen with them teaching them not hanging out like a lost pup.
