Drinking More Coffee May Undo Liver Damage From Booze (usatoday.com)

schwit1 writes: Drinking more coffee might help reduce the kind of liver damage that's associated with overindulging in food and alcohol, a review of existing studies suggests. Researchers analyzed data from nine previously published studies with a total of more than 430,000 participants and found that drinking two additional cups of coffee a day was linked to a 44% lower risk of developing liver cirrhosis.

    Sober and wide awake is pretty scary. Especially these days.

    Drunk and wide awake. Can't think of a scarier way to go throughout life.

    Lemmy did it with booze and speed. He certainly seemed to have enjoyed it.

    Lemmy only lived to 70. How long would he have lived without the booze and speed?

    How much would he have lived without booze and speed?

    (You call that living?!?)

    Yes, and so did he.

    Don't knock what you haven't tried. I'm sober out of necessity, but if I could, I'd be drunk and drugged every day for the rest of my life, noodling guitars and groupies. Even if my life got cut in half, it would be far more than twice as enjoyable. Even without the guitars and groupies.
