Have an Extra Beer!
-
Geeks,
Have an extra beer tonight. Or your adult beverage of choice to relax and unwind after a long day. After all, it appears that caffeine helps your liver, so don't worry about damaging it with a couple relaxing frosty mugs.
The study from the article linked above apparently says that coffee and tea can help reduce the risk of damage from alcohol. So maybe that coffee you drink trying to sober up does more good than just keep you awake?
As with any study, you should be careful of reading too much into this and don't go out on some great 12 pint binge and expect a few extra cups of coffee in the morning will repair the damage. After all, in another year we'll be reading that beer undoes the good that coffee does to your liver 🙂
But for the geeks in the house that enjoy a cold one, this is certainly welcome news.

What a shame I don't drink coffee or tea.
As you cna see from the by-line, I'm not afraid of a beer or 12. Hence I am also overweight and my propensity to eat red meat means I have a lot of iron in my blood (as borne out by the doctors tests).
Perhaps I need to take up one of these caffenated drinks if only for the health benefits.

We need a study on Tequila lengthening your lifeline or something like that. Shot and a beer, the way to go!

I read this "study" too...
The benefits of red wine have been touted for a long time now...for me, nirvana's an evening of wine, bread & cheese.......with either a great movie or a great book to catapult you towards attainment!
I am glad though that I also drink tea by the bucketloads - do I have a win-win situation ?!

Have the best of both worlds as I do. Add a shot of Jack Black to that cup of coffee.

Red Wine and Southern Comfort/JD are my big weakness, so much so I do not buy them in anymore, Beers can stay in my fridge for a long time and not get touched but the others are like candy to a baby.
Coffee and tea I do not really drink so thats me in trouble, maybe Diet Coke or Pro Plus could be an option.

Speaking as a representative of the craft beer industry, thanks for the plug, Steve!

Anytime we can help the beer industry, we will aspire to do so!

One tequila,
Two tequila,
Three tequila,
Floor?

Might have been "More?" a few years ago. After 3 kids, it's probably "one, two floor"

Now you can be the "cheap date" when your wife takes you out...

I would have another beer... I'm not as think as you drunk I am.

And just to introduce a note of sobriety into this thread...
Draft beer - not people!
