When asked about what makes him a stroke survivor, he would always tell that it is his wife, and the taste of brandy. It was an advise from his cousin doctor that taught him to drink brandy. He was told it was safe to drink. No beers, or whiskey, only brandy.

When made to choose between his wife and a bottle of brandy. It was the latter. It is his fountain of youth. He must have believed it so that he had never had a stroke after five times before he learned drinking brandy.
