A new study by the University of Cincinnati reveals that wives tend to consume more alcohol after they wed, while their husbands actually cut down. Researcher Corinne Reczek says, ''Stable marriage curbs men’s drinking yet is associated with a slightly higher level of alcohol use among women. Our findings suggest that being married to a man who is more likely to drink creates a new social environment that may promote drinking among women. The study found that while husbands drank less alcohol than bachelors and widowers, their consumption increased sharply if the marriage ended. Some research suggests that men are more likely to cope with stressors in “externalizing” ways such as alcohol. Men who fail to converge with their wives’ drinking habits in marriage may set a trajectory towards divorce and continued heavy drinking.''
