    Still nothing from all those I have written to.

    i just asked for one study showing non-drinkers have a mortality rate even equal to heavy drinkers.

    They just don't seem to exist, despite extensive studies.

    I've finally been given a study by Hart et al showing an increased mortality rate for drinkers.

    Of the 1,833 non drinkers in the study, 834 of them smoked. WTF? I know some teetotallers but I don't know any that smoke. Was does in the 70's but that seems incredible to me.

    Hey Wrecker, found these for you:

    http://www.science20.com/news_articles/alcoholism_knocks_off_an_average_76_years_of_life_and_leads_to_27_more_illnesses-154523

    https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/10/121016163134.htm

     

    ** Just through googling, I have no opinion on this one way or the other, just trying to help find studies as you requested. I have not examined any of these articles or their sources.

    Most stuff I found though seems to support your original contention that alcohol drinkers outlive abstainers.

     

    This I found interesting, in a study that supported the notion that drinkers outlive non drinkers:

    For example, prospective studies of men and women in Denmark (, ) and the United States () and men in France () and the Netherlands () reported that, in contrast to consumption of other alcoholic beverages, only wine consumption was associated with lower total mortality.

    Source:

    So unfortunately it looks like it might not be clear cut. You might need to do further digging into the type of drink as well!

    Best of luck mate.

    Not sure of the definition of a hipster. I don't have a beard or tattoes but I do guzzle coffee in the morning after my trip to the gym and a Shiraz, Malbec or perhaps a Merlot later in the evening. Usually means I hit the deck quite early At night.

    Not hipster then. Not sure what category you fit it but I probably fall in it with you.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
