Ellen Fox, who celebrated her 100th birthday recently, has revealed that secret behind her long life is having whiskey after breakfast.
The former show dancer, who was born before the outbreak of the First World War, reckons that she managed to reach the mature century milestone because she loved life and enjoyed a daily dram of whiskey, Metro.co.uk reported.
