A 107-year-old lady from England has claimed that a daily drink and the occasional cigarette are all that's needed to achieve long life, with near perfect health aside from hearing problems she drinks several sherries a day.
A 107-year-old from East Yorkshire has said a daily drink and an occasional cigarette are the key to a long life. Widow Dorothy Peel, a resident at Westbourne Lodge in Bridlington, drinks sherry and whisky every day. Carer Stephanie Isaacs said Mrs Peel could walk unaided, went to the supermarket every week and enjoys knitting and reading.
