When my grandma was 80 years old, the only way she would have finished a race is if somebody had pushed her the entire way.
This is pretty much the exact opposite.
According to UPI, an 81-year-old woman who recently needed less than 21 minutes to complete the 2015 FloTrack Beer Mile World Championships in Austin said she would have run a lot faster if the beer would have been replaced by scotch.

At 81 years of age, Elvira “Vera” Montes of El Paso was the race’s oldest competitor, yet she needed just 20 minutes and 24 seconds to finish, besting her 47-year-old daughter Renee by almost a full minute.
“I’m not a big beer drinker,” Montes said after the race that required participants to chug a 12-ounce beer before every quarter-mile. “I like beer when the weather is real hot and there’s nothing else to drink. I’m really a scotch drinker, Chivas if it’s available. If it was scotch we were drinking instead of beer, I would have run a lot faster.”
And it’s official: I’m now in love with an 81-year-old woman.
