World’s Oldest Man Dies at 114, Crediting Strong Booze as His Elixir of Life

The world’s oldest man, Juan Vicente Perez from Venezuela, has passed away at the remarkable age of 114. His life, filled with hard work, ingenuity, and a unique approach to longevity, has captured the attention of people around the globe.

In May 2022, Guinness World Records confirmed that Juan was the oldest living man, aged 112 years and 253 days as of 4 February 2022. This recognition brought him international fame and sparked curiosity about his secret to a long life. Juan attributed his longevity, in part, to drinking aguardiente, a strong South American spirit made from sugarcane, which typically contains between 29% and 60% alcohol by volume.
