    85.55 years.

    Not smoking is a great choice! Your life expectancy is maximized by not smoking
    If you have 2-3 drinks per day, your life expectancy would be 0.03 years longer
    If you do not drive, your life expectancy would be 0.13 years longer
    If you do not have any stress listed in the table, your life expectancy would be 0.05 years longer
    Being a conditioning exercizer has maximized your life expectancy
    Consuming all 5 classes of food everyday has maximized your life expectancy
    If you do not have any sexual partner, your life expectancy would be 0.05 years longer
    Having between 7 and 8 hours of sleep a day has maximized your life expectancy

    If all of the above choices are adopted, your life expectancy would be 0.25 years longer

    So basically, I should have less sex and more alcohol. Fcuk that!

    My life expectancy is (suprisingly) 78 years!

    13 years on the pension so!

    How long have you got?

    No idea... I can't do weird measurements, nor do I earn any dollars.

    I'm 28 now and I got 83 but I doubt this site takes into account possible medical advances that will be made in the next 50 years, so who knows.

    Apparently, 86.33 years. I don't believe that though, sure medical advances will account for possible further longevity. This site doesn't take into account that I could be killed by a car anytime I'm by a road.

    73 years. That's depressing. :(
    Meh I figure maaaahoosive heart attack in relatively fine fettle at 70 is better than dribbling and pissing yourself with blank eyes at 90. Better for those around you too.

    I got 88 on that test(92 on the later link). The blokes in my family on both sides live loooong. Bucking the trend of there being more widows than widowers. Still the amount of abuse I've given my body I'm reckoning I've long cashed in my genetic cards.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    71. Drinking and the party college lifestyle clearly have their effects. If this was last year I'd be definitely close to 90.

    What a stupid test. Assumes I know the imperial system, live in the US, drive a car (I've never been behind a wheel...) etc. Drinks per day? I don't know, sometimes I won't drink for a week. Sometimes I drink all week. Completely flawed.

    Stupid.

    83 years, though this survey is USA-orientated so likely not accurate.

    Probably the worst life expectancy calculator out there.

    This one is better. http://www.livingto100.com/

    That one suggests taking an aspirin tablet each day to prolong your life. That ain't good.

    I'd be hopeful that medical and lifestyle advances should see most of us born in the latter end of the 20th century live longer than that.

    Why? 85 years is more than long enough. Soon as I can't look after myself I'd rather be put down tbh
