True. Washington's death at 67 wasn't early for a wealthy man who survived childhood - social class played a huge role in survival back then.

However, those Colonial life expectancy numbers need context: the average was around 38 years, heavily influenced by high infant deaths (10-30% of babies didn't survive their first year), childhood diseases, accidents, and limited medical knowledge. If you made it to age 15, men usually lived to about 54, and many reached 60. Just look at the Founding Fathers—Adams lived to 90, Franklin to 84, and Jefferson to 83.

My re-post was a bit tongue-in-cheek, but I don't see recommendations to reduce or abstain from alcohol (functioning and non-functioning alcoholism is a thing) as a psyop any more than how we now know smoking kills 480,000 Americans yearly.
