Coffee may counteract alcohol's poisonous effects on the liver and help prevent cirrhosis, researchers say. In a study of more than 125,000 people, one cup of coffee per day cut the risk of alcoholic cirrhosis by 20 percent. Four cups per day reduced the risk by 80 percent. The coffee effect held true for women and men of various ethnic backgrounds.
( Very important skience under cut! )
It looks like I'm going to the Cooking Fire Theatre Festival tonight, which should be good. And I got a page of my novel written last night. That doesn't sound like much, but given my perpetual writer's block, it's quite an accomplishment. I think I'm inspired by how many bad Canadian novels I picked up at BookExpo. At this rate, I'll be done my novel in about a hundred years.
