Left brain/right brain maybe? Artists and painters are in the limelight, so their drinking and swaggering is more noticeable than 'regular' people. I guess professional athletes are sensible too, since they're on drugs a lot. Painting didn't help Vincent Van Gogh live longer. Actually, for longevity, I understand music conductors are in the forefront. All that aerobic upper arm movement is credited (seriously), as, perhaps, the accolades they receive. The accolades is in keeping with Academy Award winners who also apparently live longer on average than non-winners. Speaking of (trolley car) conductors, there's a famous study, one of the granddaddies, that trolley car conductors had significantly fewer heart attacks than their sedentary counterparts, the drivers. It was the first time that exercise and health were officially correlated. Seems hard to imagine there was a first time.
