Coffee may reduce liver disease

I read an article "Coffee may reduce liver disease" on BBC News. It was about the new research show that people can avoid the risk of alcohol-related liver disease by drinking coffee. The level of enzyme that is an indicator of alcoholic cirrhosis of drinkers who drank coffee is lower than drinkers who did not drink coffee. However, the researchers didn't absolutely sure that caffeine was the affected-factor because there is no differrent in drinkers who drank tea.

After I read this article I think it is so lucky for every heavy alcohol drinkers. They can find the way to reduce their liver disease risk. Actually, I disagree with the idea that if you drink more coffee, your risk of alcoholic cirrhosis will lower. That doesn't solve at original cause because the real cause of alcoholic cirrhosis is drinking too much alcohol. And if you drink too much both alcohol and coffee, you will be an alcoholism and caffein addict in the same time. Then the best way to avoid liver disease is that you should decrease the amount of alcohol intake.
