So I guess smoking cigars and drinking bourbon and running with fast women, that’s the secret to life. (relation, older)

...eh...it makes for a fun, counterintuitive kind of story that everyone likes. "Hey, you don't have to be a teetotaling abstinent vegan to live long and prosper!" Who doesn't want to hear that? Everyone likes the idea of a nasty grandpa or grandma, too - preferably cussing up a storm.

I love the responses ! My great-aunt outlived 5 husbands and had a boyfriend in the nursing home when she died at what we think, was age 97.
My grandpa, who died of black lung (coal miner) at age 88, had a still, made moonshine and sold it during the prohibition, and did a shot a day and always got drunk at the Russian club at church, every Sunday. He danced and sang a lot.
He would have lived much longer had the black lung not got him.
Something is going to get you. So why not have tons of fun without abusing one's body too much (no illegal drugs!!!). I think genetics is the prime reason one lives long or not. Again, within reason. My 2nd ex-huband did work in Africa, caught malaria because he forgot to take his pills, was messing around with native women, and suddenly dropped dead at 55 yrs old, despite otherwise good health. You figure !
My bio dad lived this topic to a tee.
He passed away and at the viewing his then lady...made it a point how she settled him down. What a hoot that was....none of us refuted it...we figured she lost her mind years ago by even being in his life. He loved chasing..beer,whiskey,and the next hustling scheme...
