I remember when this finding first came out in the 1970s and my friend's playboy bachelor father said "Hey, according to this chart, if I drink more I can smoke more!" Most remarkable is that moderate is defined as an average of 3 shots a day, which seems like quite a healthy amount. But it's been a very robust finding.
