Live to be 100

I'm going to live forever - or die trying

Do you want to die young? Or would you like to live to 100 or perhaps longer? Read on to see what you are doing right or wrong.

The current life expectancy numbers for the US (2002)

Black males	68.8
Black females	75.6
White males	75.1
White females	80.3

USING DRUGS is the absolute WORST thing you can do. According to a study done in Australia, illicit drug users lost an average of 36.7 years of life for each death due to drugs not to mention any time you spend in alcohol drug rehab.
