meh, I just care about all-cause mortality. I'll accept some preventable death risk if it's outweighed by non-preventable death risk improvement.

I think the French hit a good sweet spot between high alcohol consumption and high life expectancy. Quite a male-female disparity though. Maybe Irish do better at 0.2years reduction for an extra 0.4l of alcohol per year
