An Interview with (Possibly) the Oldest Brewery Worker in the World, Union’s Henry Benesch
BFB: So I feel like a lot of these types of interviews ask,
“What’s the secret to a long life?” The answer’s gotta be beer for you, right?
No, no. No, I’m a bourbon drinker. But there are some beers that I like. The Blackwing I like,
and that’s why they’re having the special: 98 cents a can instead of $5 a can.
And the reason for a long life, I don’t know. I ask the doctors and they don’t know.
They say, “Oh, what do you do?”
I say, “Well, you know, the things I’ve done earlier in life maybe is what’s making me live longer.”
They say, “What did you do?”
I say, Well, I drank from the Fountain of Youth in Florida when I got called to go into the Army.
And I shipped overseas. We had an allotment of beer or cigars, so I started smoking cigars–
I would take the cigars instead of the beer. So I’ve been smoking cigars since 1942.

Drinking bourbon, smoking cigars, and running with fast women - what more could anyone want!
This is all about life before metoo became a social problem.
Seriously, I don't think there is much of a correlation between lifestyle and long life, except that smoking and being grossly overweight are bad for you. So I'm going to do what I want.

Overindulgence in those things can shorten a person’s life but other than I don’t believe anyone has really come up with a formula that will length it.
For me the answers are golf, cigars, scotch, and young women all of which keep me young at 75.
Maybe you'll live as long as George Burns. He liked cigars, liquor (not sure which one), candy, and I'm sure he liked looking at a beautiful woman.
