If You Drink Alcohol, You Should Probably Drink More Coffee
I love my coffee, can't seem to get started in the morning without it.
Several months ago, I shared a story about research that indicated moderate consumption (3-5 cups a day) has multiple health benefits. Leave it to me! I've discovered research that indicates drinking coffee may protect the liver from damage caused by alcohol consumption.
A report in iflscience.com indicates researchers found daily coffee consumption can reduce the risk of cirrhosis by anywhere from 22 to 65 percent, depending on the quantity consumed on a regular basis.
SO, if your weekend plans include imbibing, make sure to set up your coffee pot before going to bed.
