'El' with verbs?

Hey guys

In some grammar books, I have seen sentences like this:

El vivir en Madrid es muy agradable and

El beber puede conducir a la intoxicación e incluso a la muerte.

Could anyone tell me why is the masculine definite article before the infinitive? Obviously verbs are not gendered.
