COFFEE!!!


I love coffee. It makes me crazy. It tastes delicious.

Anything this wonderful must be bad for me right???

For the past few years I’ve limited myself to only drinking coffee on the weekends with a big plate of pancakes. Getting up at 6 AM to go to work, I didn’t want to become dependant on coffee to help with get an early mornin’ buzz. But apparently its not as bad as I thought. Especially since I love alcohol as well!

Some mad scientists, probably all hopped up on caffeine, just found out that drinking coffee may shield the liver from the naughty effects of alcohol on the liver. They studied a shit load of people, and found that the risk of developing alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver dropped with each cup of coffee.

I’m always skeptical of these types of studies. Budweiser and Starbucks are probably conspiring to take over the world. But then again, maybe I should stop being such a prick about what’s “good” for me and what’s “bad” for me.

Its all about moderation.
