haha, I enjoy a drink, some people enjoy smoking, I used to smoke (cigarettes) a couple of years ago but gave that up, but I wouldn't ever criticize anyone for smoking though, each to their own and all that..
I'm not prepared to give up a social and relaxing drink, I mostly only drink at the weekends but I am guilty of binge drinking a bit..I'm a jack daniels fan...
Yeah I don't care at all what anyone does. Though, sometimes I get tired of seeing people complaining about their health problems, and then at the same time, not doing anything about it... such as continuing to drink and irrationalizing it with this and that. It is one of the biggest causes of health issues and death, no matter what sentence or study you take out of context.

All those people are going to die too, but they may not have had as many life affirming, visceral experiences.
You're right that everyone is going to die.
But what matters, A LOT, is how you spend your last living 10-20+ years.
Do you want to be bedridden or otherwise unable to live comfortably last 20 years of your life?
People are generally living longer now due to medicine. This means if you are in bad condition at 60... well then good luck for your next 30 years!
You'll be wishing you cared more when you were 40 or 50. It's never too late to start caring, of course, until it's actually too late.

I'm 43, eat/drink/smoke what I want, enjoy life, and have never felt better. Lemmy said it best... "I don't want to live forever". Being old is horrible no matter how healthy your habits, and I definitely don't want to get that old, whatever age that may be. Once the quality has gone out of your life, there's zero reason to let modern medicine keep you alive a couple more decades, that's just insane.
It's better to burn out than it is to rust...
