Turning 111 on a Beer a Day
Hermann Dörnemann, the oldest man in Germany, celebrated his 111th birthday on Thursday. The secret of his longevity? Avoid exercise and drink lots of beer.


Health experts might be inclined to shake their heads in disapproval at Hermann Dörnemann's lifestyle, but his disavowal of all sporting activities and a taste for his home town's local brew seem to have done the trick.

In addition to a daily glass of "Altbier," Dörnemann is also known to drink the water his potatoes are boiled in, as that's where the vitamins are.
