Good news, coffee lovers

Grab the biggest mug ya got and keep that life sustaining black liquid flowing:

Go ahead and have that second cup of coffee -- or third, or fourth. A study published on Monday shows heavy, long-term coffee drinking does not raise the risk of heart disease for most people.

That's news that I'm pleased to hear, as I drink way more coffee than I should during the day. Still, it does come with a caveat.

Heavy coffee drinkers did tend to smoke and drink alcohol more often and those two factors clearly do raise heart risk, the researchers report in the journal Circulation.

I anxiously await the study that says that drinking Leinie's will make you younger, healthier, and more vivacious.
