Florence Bearse of Bangor, Maine, recently turned 100 years old, and to celebrate, the centenarian opened presents, wore a silly hat, ate birthday cake, and consumed the very thing she says is the secret to her long life: a big glass of wine.
"I like my wine. Don't take it away from me," Bearse jokingly warned other party-goers at the Westgate Center for Rehabilitation.
She even had advice for those of us who want to live a long, healthy (and apparently tipsy) life: "Don't take any bologna," she said. Noted!
According to the 2016 census, 100-year-old Canadians are the fastest-growing age group in the country, up 41.3 per cent over the 2011 figures.
