      What a strange hypothetical, but I will take it

      A heroin user with a consistent supply can live to old age.

      A meth user that eats three meals a day and still sleeps can live to old age

      A person who drinks alcohol their whole life to the point of intoxication like hards drugs will most certainly die of cirrhoses of the liver before old age.

        Most people don’t consume alcohol to the same level of intoxication that hard drugs provide.

          Thank goodness. I took care of a guy who went through half of a half gallon a day of R&R. It was a nightmare dealing with a severe alcoholic.
