100-year-old Briton Doris Olive Netting admitted that she believes the habit of drinking a glass of Guinness beer a day is the reason for her longevity. She admitted this to Metro. Netting from Plymouth in the south of England has been drinking a glass of dark beer since the end of World War II. The woman claims that she was prompted to do this by an advertisement for a foamy drink, which claimed that it contains a lot of iron.
On her 85th birthday, the woman's grandchildren took her to Dublin for a tour of the factory that produces her favorite beer. Her granddaughter assures that Netting continues to drink a small bottle every day despite the doctors' words, as she believes in its healing properties. Employees of the nursing home where Netting lives, threw her an anniversary beer party and presented a figurine of the symbol of the beer company - a toucan. Guinness sent a few bottles of the drink and beer-flavored chips to a loyal customer. In addition, the woman received a telegram from the Queen.
