Who cares? As always, correlation!=causation. The causal effect of alcohol is notoriously the topic of fierce debate for decades now, diet is known confounded by things like healthy user bias, and exercise actually has been the subject of randomized experiments and the effect on mortality is less than the naive correlation. These results are already known to be wrong when interpreted the way they want them to, and beating a dead horse won't extend its lifespan.
