Contrary To What All Your Exes Say, New Study Finds You Getting Drunk Is Not Detrimental To Your Relationships

Well… sort of.

Okay. Not really. Your drinking, which I’m certain is wanton, reckless, and destructive, most likely has been the deciding factor in scores of ladies telling you you are unfit to be loved.

(And by you, I mean me.)

That said, a new study has found that drunk marriages are happy marriages.

According to the Journals of Gerontology (whatever the fuck that means), which took a look at the overall happiness of long-term marraiges, the couples who drink together are much happier than one might think.

Check this shit.

Concordant drinking couples reported decreased negative marital quality over time, and these links were significantly greater among wives. Wives who reported drinking alcohol reported decreased negative marital quality over time when husbands also reported drinking and increased negative marital quality over time when husbands reported not drinking.

So you not drinking is actually more harmful to a marriage than you staying sober.

Hold on one second.

HAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAH EAT SHIT ALL YOU EXES OF MINE. EAT IT EAT IT EAT IT. I’M DRINKING RIGHT NOW AND I AM HAPPY.

(And single, but that’s aside the point.)

I guess now would be the time to mention that couples who both abstain from drinking reported high levels of happiness as well, but we don’t talk about losers here.
