rhen explain why people who live beyond the age of 100 NEVER drank alcohol? an example a lady in Israel who is believed to be 120 years old never drink alcohol and never smoked? there are many other examples around the world.

I don't think using one person as an example means anything.
People will always say "My uncle smoked 3 packs a day and lived till 90, " as a reason to justify their smoking.
You can always find one example of anything.

BTW I do support MAAD and would like to see much stiffer laws about drunk driving.

What's the point of living to 100 if you don't get to drink?

I read this article in Time magazine this week.
So now I'll start to use up all my leftover bottles of schnaaps from simchas.

That's actually a well known fallacy.

What's true for one person may not be true for everyone.
