The morning after you drink too many cocktails, remember to down extra coffee, too – for your liver’s sake.

Drinking two more cups of coffee each day may dramatically lessen the odds of the liver damage caused by excessive alcohol, researchers found.

An analysis of nine studies totaling more than 430,000 participants linked drinking two extra cups of coffee each day to a 44% reduced risk of liver cirrhosis, a disease caused by heavy drinking.

More than 1 million people die annually from cirrhosis, according to the study co-authored by Dr. Oliver Kennedy of Southampton University.

Other causes of cirrhosis include hepatitis and immune disease, as well as excessive fat in the liver tied to obesity and diabetes.

“Cirrhosis is potentially fatal and there is no cure as such,” Kennedy told Reuters, calling the possible connection between the disease and coffee – an affordable beverage found everywhere – “significant.”

Drinking less alcohol will have an even more profound effect on the damage done to the liver by booze.

Drink water

No booze works even better.

So just a coffee based alcoholic drink and alls well then :-)

So, I'm drinking my coffee while ...

Sorry, had to get a refill, third cup this morning. Now where was I??

Ah, that's better. Now my cup's empty again - back to the kitchen ...

Getting a bit twitchy and it's only 0810 a.m.

Happy Birthday Mrs. Queen ...

Now the brewing pot is empty - need to refill it. Back later ...

I guess Dr. Oliver Kennedy & Co of the Southampton University should be more enlightened by the above advisers. Also, they should be told to read the TVF daily to keep abreast of the latest developments on this planet!

I love coffee, i must drink at least four a day.

What i hate, is drinking coffee outside of my home. I make my coffee in a specific way which i have never found elsewhere. I have one of those expresso machines that you put on the cooker and it bubbles up.

Alcohol i can get anywhere.

In fact, tomorrow is Bloody Mary day!!

I dropped my coffee jug last week so went and bought a new DeLonghi dripper thingy from Robinsons.

It makes a better brew than the old one, probably due to the paper filters rather than the originals wire mesh.

My early morning drink is about a litre and a half of water and usually make three cups of coffee when the cleaner arrives around 10am.

I pee a lot.
