Mary Flip has lived through the Great Depression, multiple wars, and through 18 presidents.
She just celebrated her 101st birthday, and attributes to her long life to one simple thing: tequila.
Per Arizona's Family, Flip was raised in Illinois, but her mother and sister died early in her life; she was the sole survivor of her family at the age of 18.
She moved to Mexico at the age of 18, got married, and lived as a rancher. She moved back to Chicago when she was pregnant with her first child, and became a legendary artist recognized by the Chicago School of Art!
Flip celebrated her birthday on Wednesday with her favorite beer, Guinness, and some dancing. "Oh, I'll get up on the table," she said laughing.
