Want to know the secret to a long life? It's alcohol if you want to see your 90s, according to a new report.

Researchers from the University of California recently conducted a study, presented at the America Association for the Advancement of Science, to determine the link between daily habits and life expectancy. 

To do so, they examined about 1,700 nonagenarians, people ages 90 to 99. Data for the individuals was sourced from the 90+ Study, which was initiated in 2003 to explore the impacts of daily patterns on longevity. The subjects, who reported their lifestyle habits in their 60s and 70s, made it to their 90s and were followed to their death.
