Coffee for Cirrhosis
The other day I blogged about a new study that said 17 beers in one day (everyday) would be good for your prostate.
The obvious downside is liver damage.
- Drinking coffee may shield the liver from the worst ravages of alcohol, a study of more than 125,000 people suggests. The risk of developing alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver dropped with each cup of coffee they drank per day.
"Consuming coffee seems to have some protective benefits against alcoholic cirrhosis, and the more coffee a person consumes the less risk they seem to have of being hospitalised or dying of alcoholic cirrhosis," says Arthur Klatsky at Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Programme in Oakland, California, US, who led the study.
So.... if you drink 17 Bailey Irish Creme's and coffee, you'll be in tip top shape!
Drink up my friends.

Perry at Eidelblog links as well, and seperately offers this Thought for the Day:
"Keep your libraries, keep your penal institutions, keep your insane asylums... give me beer. You think man needs rule, he needs beer. The world does not need morals, it needs beer. It does not need your lectures and charity. The souls of men have been fed with indigestibles, but the soul could make use of beer." - Henry Miller, "Make Beer For Man" (1925)
