You'd think drugs and booze would kill people quickly, but there's a lot of old rock legends, and people famous for drug use around All time best example: Cheech. It's truly amazing.

There's also plenty of people who died from ignoring those warnings

Its different for everybody. I know a man who never smoked or drank. Was never heavy. Ate healthy and dropped dead of a heart attack at age 55. He was a yound doctor and had an active social and professional life.

I also know a woman who smoked like a chimney, drank like a fish and lived to be 91. She was social too.
