My aunt lived to 96, despite whiskey and cigarettes. Of course, she did give up the ciggies at 70. And she really did say, “If I had known I would live so long, I would have taken better care of myself”. Rest in peace, Aunt Willibelle, I’ll see you shortly.

I had a great aunt lived to be 104. Walked from her house down to the beach and crabbed every day, and she had her bourbon every day.

She was doing great until they had to carry her out in a helicopter during hurricane Camille.

My Grandmother lived to be 101. She had a snort of snuff three times a day and a shot of brandy before bed every night! She farmed her 200+ acres of land until she was 91. She fell and broke her hip and my dad (along with my aunts and uncles) finally were able to convince her to stay on the porch - LOL!

She told us grand-kids that steak and potatoes and brandy and snuff are reasons to live as long as you can! I miss that wonderful woman! Rest in peace, Granny.

My great uncle at 94 said if he would have known he would have lived so long he wouldn’t have stopped smoking and drinking so early
