Drinking coffee may reduce the risk of developing alcohol-related liver disease, but authors of a new study warn that the best way to reduce the risk of cirrhosis is to stop drinking alcohol.

Researchers at Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program, Oakland, California studied 125,580 people and found that for each cup of coffee they drank per day, participants were 22 percent less likely to develop alcoholic cirrhosis.
