    Science Daily is reporting on a study where caffeinol --
    a mixture of caffeine and ethanol may be able to
    limit damage caused by ischemic strokes.

    Experimental 'Coffee Cocktail' Tested As Way To Limit Stroke Damage

    If this turns out to be reproducible it would be something
    that every list member would want to inform their parents
    and friends and their primary care physicians as well as
    local emergency room physicians about. [The current "source"
    the American Heart Association is presumably fairly legitimate."

    I'm kind of blown away because I can't even begin to
    imagine how this works at the molecular level.
