The article is bollox and I don't need to look at it. It's probably aimed at the American market where if you drink 2 beers you are an alcoholic.

I like how the infographics totally miss the point of info graphics too

The graphic that shows how they calculate the numbers shows it's complete bollocks.
By the same logic, if I drive my car at 150mph to work every day I'll likely die by the time I'm 40 - so if I go out for a spin tonight at 150 mph I'll lose 15 years.
