I think there’s a difference between drinking and drunkenness. Southern Europeans tend to imbibe at meal times so their overall intake might be higher. However they don’t have a culture of getting smashed on the weekends. Northern Europeans do however so in the aggregate it may all just wash out.

There’s generally a lot more physical activity in Europe because public transit is good and vehicle ownership is expensive and inconvenient.

Their salt intake is probably similar. But the link between salt and hypertension may not be as strong as once thought, especially among individuals with low salt sensitivity. I have mild hypertension myself that is correlated with weight rather than salt intake.

But the main point is the given definition of a Western lifestyle isn’t descriptive of the lifestyles of a vast number of Westerners.
