> Drinking coffee protects alcohol drinkers from developing liver disease, says a new study carried out at the Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program, California, USA. According to the researchers, one cup of coffee per day lowered the incidence of cirrhosis of the liver for alcohol drinkers by 22%.

The article I read in the local paper on the subject said that coffee also helps reduce other kinds of liver problems as well. Now, when my friends comment about my drinking Irish Coffees at dinner, I can tell 'em I’m drinking for my liver’s health! 😃
