>From SLATE: >A study >[http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20051205/hl_nm/moderate_drinkers_obesity_risk_dc] says people who have one alcoholic drink a day are 54 percent less obesity-prone than teetotalers are. (But those with four or more drinks a day are 46 percent more obesity-prone.) Another study [http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20051205/hl_nm/coffee_dc] indicates that among people who weigh too much or drink too much alcohol, those who drink more than two cups of coffee a day are only half as prone to chronic liver disease. Each study involved more than 8,000 people. Cynical take: Wash out your fat with liquor, then rinse out your liquor with coffee. <
