Couples that enjoy a drink together also live longer, a new study has revealed.
A theory called"the drinking partnership," where couples who have similar patterns of alcohol use tend to have less conflict and longer marriages was the inspiration behind the study. "The purpose of this study was to look at alcohol use in couples in the Health and Retirement Study and the implications for mortality.
Birditt added:"We've found in other studies that couples who drink together tend to have better relationship quality, and it might be because it increases intimacy."I think using the other techniques that we use in our studies in terms of the daily experiences and ecological momentary assessment questionnaires could really get at that to understand, for example, focusing on concordant drinking couples.
