At some point there must be a cross-over point. If I live in Third
Worldzania for 60 years, exposed to Typhus, Typhoid, Dengue Fever,
malaria,
Plague, TB, and have been mal-nourished, THEN I move to the US I doubt my
life expectancy, AS COMPARED TO AMERICANS, will be all that great,
Life expectancy varies widely between countries. When someone moves to
a new country, what best predicts their lifespan? Country of origin?

The country is not the determining factor for life expectancy. Some
immigrants live like the country of origin and
i have nothing to add, but a reading suggestion
tullock's war and revolution ca 1974
just an amazing book that talks about all of these issues.

When a good is made illegal consumers react by squeezing more
consumption into a shorter period of time in order to minimize the chances
of getting caught per unit of pleasure. Thus, it is a common observation
that adults drink more often than teenagers
