74-Year-Old Famed Tech Guy John McAfee Says Two Quarts Of Whiskey And Three Packs Of Unfiltered Cigs A Day Are His Keys To Health

I'm 74. How do I survive 2 quarts of whiskey and 3 packs of unfiltered cigarettes every day?

Because I also take 3,000 mg of N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine, inject 5,000 mcg. of Cyanicobalamin and take massive amounts of milk thistle extract, magnesium, calcium and thiamine daily.

It's where I get mine.

He’s a batshit insane type of dude but he’s one that operates with some form of internal logic and research. And he’s been legitimately successful in points of his life that you have to at least wonder. We’ll likely know at some point if he’s right or wrong but, either way, he seems to be covered in his world views:
