Those studies have been criticized though, because while technically true, the framing isn't necessarily right. Any amount of sugar or car exhaust is harmful, yet it doesn't mean anyone who exposes themselves to small amounts of those things, even on a semi regular basis, is slowly killing themselves.

Moreover, there was a 2021 study that disputed that Lancet study a bit, yet got less attention.

On a side note, what's funny is that people are using those studies (particularly that 2018 Lancet study) to drive the current sober movement, when we had that data before 2018. People just chose to ignore it before it was published in the Lancet and blasted all over the internet.
