Woman turning 103 says beer has aided her longevity

Many search for the secret to a long life, and who better to ask than a person successfully living one?

On August 31, Mildred Bowers of South Carolina will turn 103 and she says that a key factor to her longevity is beer, reports WCSC.

In fact, she enjoys a pint every day at 4 pm.

According to The Independent, Bowers asked if doing such a thing would be fine and her doctor gave the okay.

Staffers at the assisted facility where she lives are on board with the plan, too, ensuring she always gets her afternoon cold one.

As for whether others should try it, Bowers says, "Yes, if they like it."
