> Eric found that drinking booze… lowered the men’s risk of a heart attack as much as exercising regularly… Which is bonkers!
> So Kaye’s like: ok… all these studies are showing that those who drink have less heart disease than those who don’t… well have you ever thought… who are these non-drinkers in these studies? Like… what kind of person doesn’t drink anything?
> She started looking into the studies that had been done on people who don’t drink and found something kind of shocking. Generally speaking, they were more likely to be unhealthy.
> The people - who did drink… and then stopped… some scientists call them “sick quitters”... Sounds like a bad burn, but basically means they didn't stop drinking because they were running a triathlon, but because they weren’t well.
