Explanation:

The given statement mentions ‘most people’. A generalised statement like in assumption I and II cannot be made because a specific statement cannot be universalised. Moreover, the given statement talks about the after effects of discontinuing the consumption of alcohol. So it is quite difficult to assume what are the effects of consuming alcohol. Hence I is not implicit in the statement. Additionally, it cannot be assumed from the given statement that terminating the consumption of alcohol is the only criterion to gain wait. Also, the given sentence is least concerned about what happens if one does not stop consuming alcohol. So, any assumption in this regard cannot be made. Thus, II is also not implicit..

Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
