    Read doodab's thread from the beginning, that'll put some real life perspective on it...

        I would say those numbers are complete guess work.

            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.

              I like how the infographics totally miss the point of info graphics too If you have to caption each image on the graphic then you might as well have just listed them as bullet points.

                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.
