As far as I can recall, all the people who live to remarkable old ages all do things we've been told will lead to early deaths... drink, smoke, eat no veggies..... I wonder if that's because they don't report the ones who live "healthily", or because is it is a cae of everyhting in moderation and old age has more to do with genetics and luck?
The video concentrates on his drinking and smoking since he was 7. Posters here seem to doubt this. But they didn't know these things were bad then. Plus he doesn't have the tobaco stains in his facial hair a heavy smoker does. Or the burst capillaries of a heavy drinker. And he didn't need to smoke during the interview. He seems to be a fine example of "moderation is the key" to me.

And he's a Brit, so he rocks ;)
