Marriage causes increase in drinking for women.
Marriage causes decrease in drinking for men.
Married women live longer than married men.
Therefore, alcohol increases lifespan?

Problem, mortality?


With that attitude and outlook on life I'd marry you.

/Wouldn't drink less though.

Yeah. My next liver hasn't even been born yet.

Men learn to lie more.

Sounds about right.

I respectfully disagree.

Well duh

There's a reason why I have you favorited. This post is one of them.

Well, I would drink more, but she keeps drinking it all!

THIS

My father, brother in law, and 6 uncles are calling bullshiat on that one. Grandad would too if he hadn't drank himself to death.

Hmmm...I'd like to comment on the validity of the claim, but I am afraid that I only vaguely remember getting married, I have no idea how much my wife drinks now (let alone how much she drank before), nor have I ever felt the need to keep track of either her or my own drinking. Suffice it to say we drink a lot, we always have, and we are very happily married and quite dedicated to eachother. For some strange reason that has been enough for us.

/Life. It isn't really that complicated.

Not married yet, but I used to get shiathammered constantly, she used to, maybe, have a glass of wine with dinner. Now, I cut it during the week, still get shloshed on the weekend, and she joins me.

I used to think she was a good influence and I was a bad one, now I know it's just science. Thanks science!

It's said that married men live longer than single men. That may be true, but married men are more willing to die.

I guess I am fully in touch with my femine side.

I drink a fark more than my hubby, so I'm getting a kick...

Pfffffft Not a chance that's right.

Side note: Mr. Wookies' vice is different from mine, so while I drink like a fish, he smokes like a chimney.

I like the way you think.

Whats going on? I'll tell you. Married men have less money available to spend on drinks.

they obviously didnt marry *MY* wife.

/I'll take functional alcoholics for $1000, Alex.

The Book Was Better:

Sounds about right.

Yeah. Booze lowers her resistance but in men it contributes to impotence or premature ejaculation. Or both, as I discovered a couple times.

Me, I'd rather drink alone. At home. Playing on Fark.

I can't figure out how anybody does that. It sounds too much like work. So even simple blackouts are beyond me so far.

"OBVIOUS" tag conspicuously absent, may be at the liquor store.

Husband: I am going to meet the boys down at the bar.
Wife: The hell you are!
Husband: You can't stop me. I am going.
Wife: Then I am coming too.
(Two beers later)
Husband: Might as well go home.

Therefore, man drinks less because he isn't having fun and leaves, woman drinks more because she wouldn't have been at the bar if she wasn't babysitting her husband.

It all makes sense. .

/Life. It isn't really that complicated.

My wife and I have children. 7 & 12 year olds. Today I had to work, cook dinner, do laundry, talk to PTA moms while signing my daughter up for tennis, make dinner, read Encyclopedia Brown stories to the kids.

Now I am both drunk and stoned. Not incapacitated but comfy. So's the wife. Minus stoned because it makes her feel weird. But life is berry berry good to me.

The reason for these results is that by the time a man gets married he has been with the woman long enough to progress in to full blown alcoholism....alcoholics notoriously lie about and hide their drinking......duh.

Lordfortuna hardly ever drinks. I'm pretty much making up for his share though because I love craft beer... and when you work from home you can drink while you work =/

Not as much fun as it sounds.

No, I can believe it. Split a bottle of wine, and it's two glasses each, regardless of the fact that you may outweigh her by a hundred pounds.
