A 105-year-old woman recently credited her long life to a particular beverage, saying it is a "perfect match" with every meal.
Kathleen Hennings, a retired accountant, celebrated her 105th birthday on Oct. 2 at Care UK's Sandfields retirement home with friends, fellow residents and one specific beverage.
Hennings, who grew up in London, credited Guinness for her long and happy life.

She told Fox News Digital that she's been drinking Guinness ever since she was a teenager and was introduced to the beverage by her parents.
"In my late teens, I would join my brother and parents for a Guinness with their evening meals, but Guinness was, and still is, a perfect match for every meal," she said.
Guinness became the drink of choice for Hennings family over the years — and she said she still has one every day to go with her lunch.

For her 105th birthday, staff members at Care UK's Sandfields hosted a party for her.
Hennings received a basket of Guinness with pint glasses, a kitchen apron, slippers, chocolate and the famous black stout, according to the home.
