One study has found that drinking wine alcohol and coffee could be the secret to living into your 90s.

According to The 90+ Study at the University of California, Irvine, people who drank moderate amount of alcohol or coffee lived longer than those who abstained.

Another interesting finding from the study is people who were overweight in their 70s lived longer than normal or underweight seniors. 

The study was first initiated in 2003, using residents of a large retirement community in Orange County, California, as a sample.
