When we talk about health and alcoholism, some people like to point out that their grandfather is 100 years and smoked and drunk all his life. That may be true, it is a bell curve, a good exaple is van dike, who is 100 years, and former alcoholic and smoker
But you h\ave to remember that it is a bell curve. Most poeple who smoke and drink will never see 60 years
Dick Van Dyke recently attended the Vandy High Tea event in Malibu, Calif. and joked about his landmark 100th birthday, which is coming up later this year in December. The icon quipped: “That’s right. I’m not officially 100 until December. Two months. Two months. It’d be funny if I didn’t make it” (via People).
Reflecting on the milestone birthday in a more serious tone, Van Dyke added: “I brag sometimes about how I made it to 100 and the truth is, if I had known I was going to live this long, I would’ve taken better care of myself. And it is frustrating because I don’t know what I did right. Other than her [wife Arlene], I didn’t do anything right.”
