If your romantic relationship is on the rocks — drinking together could prolong the partnership, and might even make you live longer, according to a study.

The study, published in the journal the Gerontologist, found that couples who drink together and who have similar drinking habits are more likely to live longer and have a healthier relationship.

Kira Birditt, the lead author of the study and a professor and researcher at the University of Michigan, said that couples who have similar drinking patterns — what alcohol literature refers to as a “drinking partnership” — have less marital conflict and longer relationships. However, she said researchers aren’t sure why drinking with a spouse is “associated with better survival.”

“The purpose of this study was to look at alcohol use in couples in the [university’s] Health and Retirement Study and the implications for mortality,” she said in a U-M press release.

The recent study looked at 4,566 married, different-sex couples who were all over the age of 50. Birditt interviewed the couples every two years

The survey didn’t ask people what type of alcohol they were drinking or how much, but rather if they drank with their partner sometime in the past three months.

having a positive relationship with your spouse can make you live longer is really all it's saying

which makes sense less stress etc.

anyone who thinks "oh we need to drink together baby" because they read this study is a retard (OP is a retard, probably why his wife left him)
