The Secret To Long Life? Bacon, Miller High Life, And Johnnie Walker

Agnes Fenton starts every morning with what some might call an unconventional breakfast for a 110-year-old: bacon, sausage, buttered toast, and grits.

“It’s a little bit of everything. It’s not a big breakfast, you know,” Doreen Holder, one of Fenton’s caretakers, told NJ.com.

Fenton’s birthday was Aug. 1, the website reported.

Fenton stopped drinking her three Miller High Life beers and a glass of Johnnie Walker whiskey a day after her doctors told her she had to lay off the booze, the New York Daily News reported.

Once, ABC News reported, Fenton’s doctor told her that she “must drink three Miller High Lifes a day”; her only health problem was a benign tumor.

Fenton was born in Mississippi and came to Englewood in the 1950s after a running a restaurant in the South, The Record reported. Her husband died in 1970. She has no children.

Fenton told The Record that she looks in the mirror every morning and thanks God she is still alive.

“I have nothing to complain about,” she told the newspaper.
