Coffee, sex and blowing your nose could increase the risk of a type of stroke, say researchers in the Netherlands.
The study on 250 patients identified eight risk factors linked to bleeding on the brain.
They all increase blood pressure which could result in blood vessels bursting, according to research published in the journal Stroke.
The Stroke Association said more research was needed to see if the triggers caused the rupture.
More than 150,000 people in the UK have a stroke each year with nearly 29,000 due to bleeding on the brain.
Bleeding can happen when a weakened blood vessel, known as a brain aneurysm, bursts. This can result in brain damage or death.
The researchers at the University Medical Center in Utrecht looked at 250 patients for three years to identify what triggers ruptures.

Not telling you! ... But I will say this, you can make your own Coffee liquor by double brewing with my method and adding it to an amount of cheap vodka equal to half the coffee volume, sugared to taste. Let sit in a closed glass container for a week before serving.
Sounds like you’ve been experimenting with this stuff for awhile.
Sdly, the missus banned me from making the coffee.
Apparently newer coffee makers don’t like to do this, and they break.
So my missus went all “wrath of the Olympians” on me about killing the coffee maker.

Thgis just in: LIfe increases the chance of death to 100%
Well now, there ya go ... my two cats don’t say a word and the coffee maker is seventeen or twenty years old. But I do clean it regularly with white vinegar and then perk a pot of just water through it.
