Good news for all drinkers...

from the BBC website..

Drug 'may reverse liver disease'

Cirrhosis is a major killer in the UK
A cheap and readily available drug could reverse severe liver disease, even in patients who find it impossible to give up booze, research suggests.
Sulphasalazine is currently used to treat arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease.

But a University of Newcastle team has found that it can also reverse the scarring associated with cirrhosis of the liver.


Drink up guys!
