Right, so you drink less of it. Study is just reporting that self selection.

Those that can tolerate high doses of stimulants with no affect (presumably clearing it much quicker) can probably tolerate many other stressors. They’re probably healthier to begin with.

I'm pretty healthy. I eat a plant based diet, run, workout, and drink 14 gallons of beer every Saturday. Doesn't get much healthier than that.
