  They report preventable deaths caused by alcohol is higher in France than anywhere else in Europe.

Speaking French doesn't appear to help you. Maybe Italian is better.

Sounds like bs if you look at Russian numbers.

meh, I just care about all-cause mortality. I'll accept some preventable death risk if it's outweighed by non-preventable death risk improvement.

I think the French hit a good sweet spot between high alcohol consumption and high life expectancy. Quite a male-female disparity though. Maybe Irish do better at 0.2years reduction for an extra 0.4l of alcohol per year
