Even a cursory examination of the question suggests the possibility that heavy drinkers—whose tendencies to crippling self-doubt and deep depression cause them to seek the sweet oblivion of intoxication—take less care of their health in an unspoken desire to somehow hasten the inevitable demise that will finally bring them the peace they so desperately crave in the rare moments of sobriety when the sheer anguish of being human, with all its attendant sorrows and disappointments, makes life a crushing burden that is almost impossible to be borne without the aid of some palliative intoxicant. But that may just be a theory based on personal observation; I'm not sure the science is totally there yet.
