Cars kill us: Far fewer car crashes, more sleep as no need to commute so early in the morning, no horrible drive into the office screaming and honking at the idiot driver, no horrible drive home while texting. Alcohol kills us: no drunk fights at bars, drunk driving, falling in front of moving vehicles. Not saying it explains it, but a lot of people get hurt and die for stupid reasons.

Then they're "just" pickling their liver at home instead of also getting into fights at bars, driving drunk, and falling down in front of moving vehicles on top of that.
The article focuses on strokes and heart attacks which presumably should remain constant.
It wouldn't reduce all of the incidents, but heart attack risk is higher in those who don't get enough sleep, so he's not wrong on that, if people are getting more sleep at the moment.
