[snarky comment about that being the only way they can stand each other. Or something. It's early, dammit]
See, that's where that mighty CIC comes in handy!
All R reserch dollarz at werk!
"unless one of them is an alchoholic"

Says that couples that do more than one shot of Jager or injest more than a 12 pack of Busch are more likely to end up on the show "COPS" and receive a free ride in a police car.
A great show to watch and say to yourself, "somebody has it a lot worse than I do."
It's Hoarders and Super Nanny. Makes me think I'm mastering the Mom/housekeeper aspect of my life!
I have a ways to go yet, but by the time somebody comes up with My 600 Pound Hoarder Life, I might just be ready to audition.
Haha! It also shows you just how hard you have to work to actually be a criminal. It's so much easier just to stay within reasonable limits of the law...

My whole tailgate revolves around jäger and we've been good for 7 years now.
This post needs more Natty.
I don't recognize your mgoname, but it's obvious you're one of us. I can make a strong inference that you may be my cousin based on your name.
34 years this year and dated for 4. We have been drinking together since we were teenagers. Common thread wine and mixed drinks.
Beware the cheese!

Screw that, I'm taking the sheets off of my bed so i can eat more cheese.
Best comment of the week.
According to that graph you're going to cause a lot of deaths with that kind of behavior.
Damn, that's a sharp (cheddar) rise in deaths between 30lbs and 33lbs.
You muenster, you're making me bleu.
I guess I need to convince my wife to start drinking more, especially in the fall

that smoke weed and snort coke off of each others' genitals?
/asking for a friend.
Obviously, they would come to the same conclusions.
Isnt the stuff supposed to make you skinny?
Not if it gives you the munchies
from ohio state soon
I would guess Ohio actually drinks more and Ann Arbor has more weed smokers and drug users. I don't consider that a bad thing at all.
OSU might have more meth though. A2 drugs are usually of the higher-end variety.
for my ignorance
Pics or it didn't happen!
But with high end hookers
That's is also what Louisville did, but with high end recruits - allegedly.
Is coke better when sorted off genitals? Seems like it would get mixed up in the juices too much to be effective
without getting graphic, so I'll just get graphic.
Yes, it's best if things are dry, so don't forget to being a towel, which is really good advice for most situations in life.
If you're looking for a little backdoor action, the booty bump is the way to go. It has the benefit of being a little kinky and dirty and it numbs things up a bit for the upcoming festivities.
Your ability to segue anal into any thread topic is impressive
If your partner's boner is too juicy to snort coke off of, you've missed your window.
We've been co-enabling for years. Works great!
Makes the years pass like mere days (due to extensive blackouts).
who funded this study? what a waste of taxpayer money
where you throw together an inordinate number of statistics and look for trends. It might have other purposes and it probably involves no original research, just statistical analysis. So it's probably cheap and generates a decent amount of ad revenue which is why you see so many of these studies lately.
The researchers collected their data within the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), which is a long-term UM project, so this was done with original data. The National Institute on Aging supported the research along with UM.
"Ad revenue" doesn't guide decisions on research topics, since academics would never see any of it. The reason why there is a lot of work done with secondary data is because there's lots of it out there, and there are sufficient econometric and computing tools to explore it and deal with potential issues of causality.
Probably Seagrams.
Couples that __________ (insert common interest) together stay together, says this week's captain obvious research study.
I would be more interested (but still not much) to find out if couples that drink together have a higher likelihood of staying together than say couples who work out together our couples who share a love of going to the theater. That might actually tell us something.

Spot on it.

Though they don't investigate that exact question, one thing they do find is that concordance in non-drinking doesn't have a positive effect on marriage quality, so I don't think the effect is quite so simple as just behaving similarly. But they do acknowledge that this contributes to the broader compatibility theories of marriage quality.
