Wow 9000 people studied, wow.

I used to know a couple drunks who were married and used to drink heavily under the bridge downtown. They lived forever until they got cirrhosis of the liver and died at the ripe old age of 59 :)
I guess they were not one of the 9000 :)

I actually do know a couple that drink more or less heavily. I don't see them as being able to live longer than any couple who does not drink.

Sounds like they might have lived forever if their livers hadn't died so young ... :p

Are some of these in need of a fridge, like Kahlua, I know Vermouth does.

Never mind, it’s recommended. A cool dry place will do. However, the source said to make it last longer refrigerate.

Some of them do taste better when cold. But not even Kahlúa needs refrigeration. Their alcohol content makes it needless. Although I once had a terrible experience with a bottle of Galliano that had gone stale after being opened and not served again for almost a decade.

A Battle Over Beer Split a Texas Town’s Biggest Party
Businesses carry the German names of families who arrived long ago — the Fishers, the Flusches — and never left. The lettering on police cars promises “Zu Dienen und Beschützen,” to serve and protect. Each year, the high school football team battles its rival in Lindsay, another German-heritage town, in a grudge match known as the “Kraut Bowl.”

Texas experienced several waves of German immigration in the 1800s. Many settled around the Hill Country cities of Fredricksburg and New Braunfels, near Austin, where some schools taught primarily in German.

“The German language held on longer and more tenaciously in Texas than anywhere else in the United States,” said Walter Kamphoefner, a history professor at Texas A&M University.
Just drink and be happy.
