Whiskey and cigars: The secret to living a long life from oldest WW2 veteran

[AdamC]

Excerpt to an interesting article: Want to know the secret to living past 100?

For WWII veteran Richard Overton, it’s whiskey and cigars.

Time reports that the 107-year-old Austin, Texas native has a tablespoon of whiskey in his coffee every day.

“It keeps your muscles tender,” he told Fox News in May.

He also smokes 12 cigars a day. He said those are his secrets to a long, healthy life; one that led him to celebrating Veterans Day with President Obama on Monday. Overton is believed to be the oldest living veteran in the country.

It's amazing. Try making a traditional Irish Coffee. It's coffee, whisky, cream and brown sugar.

Love this article! I read it a couple of days ago and I was blown away. 12 cigars a day is outrageous, but awesome!

Unfortunately I don't think the wife is buying into the whole cigars for health thing... But she does buy into wine for health. Then again I don't think anyone has said 12 glasses of wine a day is healthy!
