I am sure a lot of /. readers knew that Irish Coffee was good for you. I will mix two strong cups of coffee with one ounce or two of Irish Cream http://www.baileys.com/ and one ounce or two of Sambuca http://www.luxardo.it/ to get a taste for this medical research."

    Great. Now certain people will be faking strokes down at the free clinic.

    Others will be saying, "Nawww <hic> - this is muDICenal <hic> (sic)"

    Besides, giving coffee to a drunk does not make him sober, giving coffee to a drunk just gives you a wide-awake drunk.

    Ouch. The last thing I'd want is a hangover with a side of caffeine poisoning. This is about as medicinal as heroin (which was actually considered a medicine for a while in early 1900s) and sounds like someone's drunken frat dare taken too seriously.
