I’m not going to tell you that you HAVE to go on a date with your husband or wife this weekend and both get blackout drunk . . . but it might just SAVE YOUR MARRIAGE. A new study out of the University of Michigan found that couples who get drunk together stay together. Those couples have happier marriages than couples where only one person drinks . . . OR couples where neither person drinks. The researchers say it’s probably because drinking together means you’re spending time together having fun . . . and that’s one of the biggest keys to a happy marriage. Now, there IS one catch.  If one of you or both of you abuse alcohol, it ISN’T good if you drink together . . . and the study found drinking will make your relationship worse.
