It IS the same study.  I said so in the first message.

The subject of the thread has to do with the U graph commonly assumed by
proponents of the healthiness of moderate drinking.  And the point is
this: What those "half a dozen other studies," as you put it, fail to take
into account is the fact that people already ill tend to be nondrinkers.
Their illness isn't caused by their failure to quaff a couple a day.  It's
the other way around, they don't drink because they're ill.  This is a
real statistical quirk which causes the U to turn into something more like
a J and I'm interested in seeing how you attempt to explain it away.
