110-Year-Old Woman Agnes Fenton Longevity Secret: Three Miller High Lifes Daily [PHOTOS]

Agnes Fenton recently turned 110 years old. The woman who hails from Englewood, New Jersey is truly one of the rare people who get to live this long.

Not only that, Agnes Fenton is in good shape for her age: she can still hear and see very well. In fact, she listens to the radio, reads the newspaper and even hangs out with some of her friends. She has no serious health issues whatsoever.

Agnes Fenton recently shared what she deems is her secret to a long life: three beers and a shot of whiskey every day - Fenton did this for 70 years.

But it's not any old beer or whiskey. Fenton drinks three Miller High Lifes in addition to a shot of Johnnie Walker Blue Label every single day.

The concept came to light after she suffered from a benign tumor, the only serious health problem she encountered which was "several decades ago," as per BuzzFeed. In fact, her doctor at the time advised her to drink three beers a day.

Unfortunately, Agnes Fenton had to give up her daily routine upon the suggestion of her caregivers. Fenton isn't eating as much as she did in the past, so the caregivers want to keep a watchful eye on her alcohol intake.

Agnes Fenton is currently a participant for the New England Centenarian Study. The study has been collecting data about Fenton for the past five years.

Stacy Andersen, PhD, is the principal author of the study. She told the Record, "Each of our centenarians has their different secrets." Andersen further noted that Fenton's secret is alcohol; and that "maybe it is."

However, Stacy Anderson also cites that alcohol doesn't seem to be a longevity factor for other participants of the study. Studies have also further shown that alcohol has yet to be proven to increase the longevity of life.
