Cabernet, Cannabis, and Coffee. Oh my!

Next time you visit grandma, fire one up with her over a glass of wine and toast to her health. Two new studies released findings indicating red wine and THC may help or even prevent Alzheimer's. Of course, moderation is key, so those all-night booze/toke fests while listening to the Dead do not count as therapy. But if you do really enjoy knocking them back, here is more good news. Drink an extra cup of java during the morning hangover to beat down that pesky cirrhosis. That's right, another study implies that coffee may be used to reduce chronic liver disease from your (my) utter lack of control. Mmmmm, increasing one vice to fix another, now that's science, and I don't have to hold out for that transgenic pig liver.
