Save your liver OR drink twice as much?


Scientists have found a drug that could help reverse severe liver damage.

Now I think this research is brilliant but it begs a couple questions:

1) Did the scientists try this on themselves first? Sure if I had a liver problem due to excessive drinking I "might" sign up for a trial but on the other hand if the drug failed it could kill me so I would be faced with a hard decision

2) Since the drug repaired the liver, did this allow the drunkards to go drink more?

Is this the cure or a license to drink? I wonder if it is too late to sign up?

** oh, and did the writers name HAVE to be Ian Sample? (that killed me!)
