A pooled analysis of studies on coffee consumption in Britain shows that drinking coffee could lower the risk of developing a potentially fatal disease linked to excessive alcohol consumption.

The study shows that drinking at least two more cups of coffee a day can reduce the risk of developing liver cirrhosis, a disease linked to excessive alcohol consumption. ​Researchers analyzed data from more than nine studies on coffee consumption involving more than 4 lakhs 30 thousands patients. Cirrhosis has no known cure and it kills more than one million people per year.
