    Dooo it. They’ll be a bit more tame, though, because moderate drinking is not nearly as deadly as smoking.

      Why are you so confident to say that? I think alcohol is probably worse than cigarettes

        I mean I could be wrong. The sense I’ve gotten is that a couple drinks is maybe on the same tier as a greasy meal.

            I just searched around a bit, and it seems surprisingly hard to find actual numbers for each separately. Do you have any? Life expectancy reduction would probably be the best measure.
