As so often headline is a bit misleading- seems the biggest improvement is the first 2 cups (so not 'additional') and after that it tails off, not surprisingly. so I suspect this won't help the alcohol intake as much as you'd like! Anyway I reckon 4 cups per day is more than enough if I don't want to be totally wired.

Also what is a cup... Does an espresso count as two?

Besides, like all coffee lovers this just confirms what I knew already. Life is just better with coffee.
