Guys drink more after marriage???
 

Is that true?

no idea :)

Fucking right.

I would hope so, the bar scene is just practice for the long haul.

lol.....

nope. usually just sober evenings of quiet misery, the only hint their heart may be suffering is the tear that drops into the sinkful of dishwater they are hunched over every night.

Drinking alcohol is good for solving problems.

Damn she devils drive you to it

I don't know :)

fiddy beeersz

I guess so... mine just had a bloody mary with a side of beer for breakfast the other morning.

i drink when i want - usually 1-2 times a week. marriage does reduce it tho because i have to make a lot of money and sometimes watch my kid.

its all out of choice tho. i can drink 7 days a week if i want. i'd just be a shitty dad and husband lol

.

Well... people are usually going out a lot and partying a lot to meet people and also more likely to drink while dating. I doubt the connection is much deeper than that.

Nope. I really don't enjoy drinking that much.. It was just a part of my single life and a way to get hooked everytime me and my buddies go out..

Marriage ain't shit. Wait till you have kids!
