That's honestly way less that I would have expected.

Yeah, not that bad really. I would guess from the headline here that you'd only knock off a year having 6 - 12 drinks a day. That's not that bad either. Taking off any more than 5 years seems like it would be problematic, though, as upwards of 60 drinks a day can start to get expensive.

And probably well within the margin of error. It could be correlated to any other habit people who drink every day may also be more likely to have.
