Maybe that's because people are living longer than ever. In the past, maybe something else would take you out, like getting the flu when you're 70

there are also other things that can take you out - like depression for instance; however alcohol is considered to be a depressant - so it doesn't quite help here (I guess the main point here is temperance - but that's a non scientific personal opinion; its a Friday, isn't it?)

Like what the Poet said: "Whatever Gets You Thru the Night, its all right ... "
