A 110-year-old woman credits her longevity to the simple things: God and Miller High Life. New Jerseyan Agnes Fenton says she has been drinking a few Millers a day for the last 70 years, a habit she started after a doctor told her that her only health problem was a benign tumor.
Though Fenton no longer drinks as much as she did when she was a youthful 105 (her caregivers have told her that three Millers and a glass of whiskey a day is too much now that she eats less) Fenton says other than being faithful to God and a loyal imbiber of the champagne of beers, there isn't really a secret to her longevity.
"Just keep in touch with God and do the right thing," Fenton told ABC 7. "That's all I know." Cheers!
