There are a lot of studies that shows the many benefits of drinking coffee. Aside from containing caffeine to keep us awake when needed, coffee is teeming with antioxidants and essentials nutrients to keep you in top shape.

There are also some research and even claims that coffee could actually improve one’s libido especially on the part of the women. A study conducted in the United States concludes that coffee could help augment sex drive of women.

Indeed many studies were already whipped up and show promising and plausible results that drinking coffee may lower risk of several serious diseases.

The recent discovered benefit that coffee offers to its avid fans would certainly put a smile on the faces of the alcohol aficionados. People who are fond of drinking alcohol are at risk of liver cancer, but there is a research that has been conducted recently that says drinking coffee regularly will lessen the damage in liver caused by regular drinking of alcohol.

I have at least a pot a day.

1. Nice cup. (nt)

[YOHABLO]

2. Who knew? All the nights of going out drinking and ending up at the I-HOP at 4am paid off.

[christx30]

3. I wouldn't say it paid off.

They cancel each other out. But I'd you have fun doing it, I'd say you can put it in the win column.

4. If you need caffeine to keep you awake

you should try just sleeping instead.

Your body doesn't need antioxidants.

And what "essential nutrients" is coffee "teeming with" in amounts that make any difference?

Sounds like a study commissioned by the coffee industry.

8. 13 Proven Health Benefits of Coffee

Remember I usually drink at least a pot per day and usually more.

4. There Are Essential Nutrients in Coffee
Coffee is more than just black water. Many of the nutrients in the coffee beans do make it into the final drink.

A single cup of coffee contains (22):

Riboflavin (Vitamin B2): 11% of the RDA.
Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5): 6% of the RDA.
Manganese and Potassium: 3% of the RDA.
Magnesium and Niacin (B3): 2% of the RDA.

Although this may not seem like a big deal, most people are drinking more than one cup per day. If you drink 3-4, then these amounts quickly add up.

Bottom Line: Coffee contains several important nutrients, including Riboflavin, Pantothenic Acid, Manganese, Potassium, Magnesium and Niacin.

13. Not sure I'd call that "teeming"

And, as noted, the body doesn't need antioxidants.

Funny too that none of the "studies" cited mention any of the negative health effects of large doses of caffeine.

16. bioflavinoids! mood enhancers! and deliciousness!

I just had an extra cup! can you tell? !!!

[Lochloosa]

5. I'm good then.

[PoliticAverse]

6. "coffee is teeming with ... essentials nutrients". I knew coffee was a 'food group'

but I never knew it was also an essential nutrient.

7. So, Kahlua is the best of both worlds...

[Plucketeer]

9. I love my coffee

I like my booze. I'm good!

[Arcadiasix]

10. I'm saved!!!!

[slor]

11. Well...I lucked into that!

...As an infant, I was drawn to coffee, my mother said, I loved it hot and cold. And, in my adolescence, I came to love alcohol, though it was a very unhealthy predilection, to be sure. But this is good news!

12. A mug of coffee or two a day, and a drink or two in the evening.

Nice to know it works out well.

[Major Nikon]

14. Just put whiskey in your coffee and your liver won't know whether it's comin' or goin'

18. Isn't that why God invented Irish Coffee?

[FrodosPet]

29. That's EXACTLY why!

[McCamy Taylor]

15. Could be that folks who drink ETOH and coffee are more likely to have jobs and eat

healthy diets and a host of other factors. Association is not causality. Until they take two groups of alcoholics, double blind them, serve one group coffee and the other group something else and follow them for twenty years, we will not be able to say with any certainty that coffee prevents liver cancer. Coffee use is also associated with getting ready to go to work.

22. All I can say is that ... HOPEFULLY ... the people involved in this study ...

Are as familiar with science-ing ... as you and I are.

You know, given that the absolute, most basic concept of 'scientific experimentation' ... pretty much inherently involves the concept of 'controls' ...

I suppose we can only hope.

Or, I dunno ... read the actual study I guess, see if they used any sort of 'control'.

More work than I care to do. I'ma just keep drinking coffee and booze ... and hope for the best

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

17. I drink about a quart or two a day of Starbucks Italian Roast.

I love coffee! Between that and the pot, I'm the healthiest I've been in 40 years!

[lib87]

19. I only Read the Title

Lol and that's all I need to know!

[47of74]

20. I see you found my coffee cup.

21. This news is a definite boon for Alcoholics Anonymous!

Anyone who's been to any knows that Coffee is de-rigeur for EVERY AA meeting (well, at least it seems to be the case here in the USA, and I doubt we're alone in that regard).

There's even a designated 'coffee-maker' for every meeting ... an instance of the 'service' that the program promulgates that people in recovery ... engage in.

With this news, it happily turns out that there's recuperative benefits to going to AA that extend above and beyond mere 'sobriety' ... You're also being served a healing elixir ... and it's even FREE, if you can't afford to contribute!

23. Irish coffees for everyone!!!!! nt

[KittyWampus]

24. Coffee stresses the adrenals and any benefit derived from its consumption

could be gained eating/drinking other, more healthier foods and drinks.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

25. No wonder those of us in a certain 12 step program

down this by the gallon............

[Jamastiene]

26. Now they need to start making coffee recipes with alcohol in them.

Better yet, make alcohol recipes with coffee in them.

[Jackpine Radical]

27. So THAT'S how I survived my younger years.

I always wondered…

28. Black & Tan my brethren
