Men who are blessed with a sunny disposition and a predilection for a cup of cocoa before bedtime are also likely to live longer, scientists have discovered.

Two separate studies in the Netherlands have found that regular cocoa drinkers have lower blood pressure than non-drinkers and that an optimistic outlook helps you to avoid heart disease.

Both studies looked at large numbers of men between the ages of 64 and 85 who were interviewed about their lifestyles in order to tease out any associations with potentially lethal diseases.

Wonder if a chocolate liqueur would work as well?  There must be plenty of distilled cocoa in that!(//vny!://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Teasing/14.gif)

Oh, nothing like a good cup of hot chocolate to bring you up.
