Years ago I read an article in the National Geographic about very old people of (then) Soviet Georgia. Seems that one of those smoked a pack of cigarettes and had two shots of vodka every day.

My dad smoked a pack a day, then who knows how many pipes, and did have a shot now and again. Was a small town doctor and worked 18 hour days. Fought in WW2 and Korea. Made it to 90. Oh, and never exercised.

Go figure.

I knew a WWI and WWII Navy veteran, we called Mr. Joe who lived to age 106. When he was 100 a VA doctor told him if he did not quit smoking it would kill him. Mr. Joe thought that that was pretty funny but he switched from the unfiltered Camels he had always smoked to filtered Winstons.
Mr. Joe drank a shot of whiskey every day and enjoyed a bottle of beer every night. He went dancing on the weekends til he was a bit over 100 years. He always had plenty of dancing partners and he did love the ladies.
