Drunk threads?! That won't be tolerated on TA :mad:
It's blatantly obvious TA stands for Teetotallers' Association as there's nothing in its name that might even imply there is some sort of tolerance with unhealthy cravings around here. |

You stand a much higher chance of passing your 74th birthday if you don't drink to harmful levels. Hence why you can't extrapolate with any accuracy.

That's your text, and misleading paraphrasing, so don't palm that off on to me. I never said that or in that context. |
Am I really?

9 million people is about 1 in 10, as I said before.
I don't quite know the quantification of "Harmful drinkers" as it's an ambiguous term, but the NHS spells it out clearly and the worrying thing is, it's an upward trend (i.e. Getting worse).
I suppose it comes down to how often they do it; if someone drinks too much on say, a weekly basis, then I would say they really have an alcohol problem or dependency (at least by NHS standards they do). |
Checkmate, I think. |

They only used data from a pool of 16-74. There are people both below 16 (I knew two growing up) and older than 74 with alcohol dependency and you can't just say that all those people just stop drinking or don't exist or suddenly die because they hit a certain age. I've met alcoholics in their 80's, and see how many results there are on the web about elderly alcoholism, so let's not extrapolate at all and consider it continues until death.
So my figures and math are right.
But damn, you got dead to rights me writing the text. although I will say it doesn't change the fact that further detail does not affect original statement in content and is a false context to suggest so. So check, but not quite checkmate ;)

Isn't Modafinil a powerful addictive drug used to treat narcolepsy? I can't imagine what would do to you on a drinking binge, |
