If you read this carefully, that’s not what this study says. 3 leading causes of death they associate with alcohol globally is tuberculosis, road accidents and self harm. Obviously none of those three apply to a moderate drinker ( who doesn’t drink and drive )
Here is a quote right from this paper “Females, particularly in high SDI locations, experienced some protective effects for ischaemic heart disease and diabetes beyond 60 years of age. For males, only high SDI and low SDI locations had noticeable protective effects for ischaemic heart disease”

- vasilipupkin 7y agoWell, I mean these findings describe the overall probability or impact of alcohol, which includes injuries and tuberculosis. Tuberculosis is not exactly an issue for most readers of this website and injuries can be avoided if you don’t drink and drive. For example, I drink moderately but never ever drink and drive. So, statistics on alcohol harm that include injures from drinking and driving are completely irrelevant to my personal decision to drink or not.
