They don't keep any stats on long term effects of heavy drinking. I know some 15 friends (some) since high school who died from terminal liver issues - all big drinkers - in their 40s/50s.... the age range the article was about.
Drug deaths are tracked...cigarettes don't take most lives until 60s or older.

I know some 15 friends (some) since high school who died from terminal liver issues - all big drinkers - in their 40s/50s.... the age range the article was about. My wife and I are in our mid 70's, and we saw many people we knew, die in their 40s/50s. Alcohol abuse was a major factor.
Now, our adult children, nephews and nieces in their 40s/50s/ are seeing the same re people they knew.
