Guest Low Roller Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 So if I keep drinking booze like a fish, then drink coffee to be able to function the next day, and continue the cycle for a lifetime, I have less chance of having fatal liver disease than somebody who leads a healthy life and only drinks alcohol on occasion? Fascinating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
