I've never liked wine. I'm hoping they find some longevity benefit in single-malt Scotch. What's the story on how long they live in Scotland?

Life expectancy in Scotland is on the increase, but the connection between this and consumption of Scotch is dubious...sorry.

You don't want to know. maybe it's the haggis.

I don't know about Scotland, but a lady I knew in Kentucky while I was in the Army, she was a friend of mines Great, Great, Grandmother, was 99 years old. Lived by herself in the hills on 10 acres.

Every morning she would get up, have a shot of Jack Daniels, Smoke a cigar, then have bacon and eggs, for lunch, a shot of Jack Daniels and smoke a cigar, then eat ham, or whatever meat she fancied. Then, for dinner, she would have a shot of Jack Daniels, smoke a cigar, then eat a HUGE dinner, again, WHATEVER caught her fancy. Then, just before bed, around 10:30 or so, she would have a shot of Jack Daniels, smoke a cigar, then have some fun dessert. Then get up at 5AM and do it all over again.

The woman was a fricking dynamo, chopping wood, mowing her lawn, etc. She had outlived ALL of her children, 5 husbands, 1/2 of her grandchildren, and about a 1/4 of her great grandchildren. It was incredible, and when I left, after 2 years, she had just turned 100, GREAT party by the way, she was alive and kicking and doing her thing.

Doubt she is still alive, it's been 12 years, but you never know.
