Science has offered up some beneficial reasons for drinking coffee in recent years, with the latest research suggesting it may lower the risk of alcohol-related cirrhosis. Alcohol consumption, especially in large amounts, does come with some chance of the drinker developing alcohol-related cirrhosis. Now a new study offers some interesting findings about possibly warding off those chances by drinking coffee.

A new review published in the journal Alimentary Pharmacology and Therapeutics of multiple existing studies, suggests that by drinking just two or more cups of coffee daily, you may lower the risk of developing alcohol-related cirrhosis by as much as 44 percent, reports CNN Health News on February 20. This research was derived from nine separate studies on the correlation between coffee consumption and risk of cirrhosis. The findings of the nine studies were analyzed by researchers, who found therisks of developing the alcohol-related cirrhosis were significantly lowered by each cup of coffee you drink daily, reported in their review.
This was no little research, as more than 430,000 subjects combined to make up the nine studies. While the duration of the nine studies varied, the longest study out of the group went on for 20-years. CNN Health reports that "in eight of the nine studies examined, researchers found increasing coffee consumption by two cups per day was associated with a statistically significant reduction in the risk of cirrhosis."
