   Oh Lawdy Lawd, more crap science.  I can think of lots of ways to invalidate   
   this study.  For starters, overweight people in their 70s with the luxury of   
   drinking alcohol are probably better off, or had more comfortable lives, or   
   have had enough disposable income to pay for better healthcare, etc.
