Who doesn’t drink? Well definitely someone with stage 4 cancer, so…
Edit: this was too snark, I meant:
If someone has cancer they are less likely to drink. So more of those people end up in the non-drinking cohort. There may not be many of them, but they are outliers in terms of life expectancy, whether measured in age of death, or age from the survey date.
