Probably, but I was too snark to get my point across.
You are fighting for your life => You probably choose not to drink.
This skews the non-drinking cohort, for reasons nothing to do with the positive* health effects of drink.
* There are probably no positive health effects.
- ben_w 3y agoPerhaps; I don't know. My only data point is anecdotal: my dad had bowel cancer, didn't change his water consumption after the surgery, insisted he was drinking plenty even while the nurse was putting a drip in one arm to rehydrate him and the other arm to give meds because he'd almost destroyed his kidneys. Habits can be hard to change, and self-awareness slow. But an anecdote isn't data.
