does getting married curb your drinking habits?

[place holder]

i have to say yes,
sober place holder - well, slightly sober.

wife hits hard.

 

[Purple Stickpin]

Not if you marry a drunk.

For me, marriage didn't, but getting older has.
The beer hits the stomach and the stomach hits back.

"does getting married curb your drinking habits?"
It depends...
It depends on who you marry.
It depends on how you drink.
It depends on how important drinking is to you.'
CRB:)

 

[hoochmonkey9]

no.

silly man.


;)

 

[scribbler]

Hell yes! despite the added guile, I am still, 15 years later, unable to ever drink nearly as much as I did when I was single.

 

[Marvel]

you guys just made me reconsider marrying ;)

 

[R. Ginsoski]

Sometimes marriage is the reason one STARTS drinking.

 

[Lolita Twist]

Thanks, honey.

Sometimes it's why you stop.
Remember that?
;)

 

[R. Ginsoski]

Oh, snap!

You know I didn't mean I started. Because...well...have you ever smelled alcohol on me? No, you haven't. <3

 

[place holder]

i really don't mind sobering up some,
i think it's best overall,
my wife is a saint for some of the things she had to put up with me doing while drunk,
she doesn't really drink anymore,
just a glass now and then,
i drink more than a glass now and then - but i respect that fact that she doesn't want a drunken idiot for a husband.

marriage is about compromise,
and instead of drinking 20 beers in a day or a bottle of whiskey,
i just have four or five beers a day or a shot of whiskey. (sometimes even less or no alcohol.)

No, I've never <3 :)

Does getting married curb your drinking habits?

Not sure...but getting drunk sure doesn't curb the marriage habit...

 

[slimedog]

It hasn't changed me & Mrs. Slimedog doesn't drink, but she somehow "inspires" me to keep drinking.

 

[roni]

What a great threat!
All of these answers - being so very differnt - have a reason.
There's a lot of wisdom here.
And it's fun too.

My ex-wife was a heavy drinker (she was self medicaing- manic). The only thing that makes me drink more now is the ever abundant stress and pressure of existence.

I love the pressure.

 

[taperjeangirl]

well, my boyfriend was married while we were going out and it seemed to only further his alcoholism.

made for good times.

 

[Gerard K H Love]

Oh yeah, your married boyfriend is going to tell you his true feelings, Yeah that happens. Is he still married?

I'm assuming that my drinking cost will increase by at least 1/3rd, thank god she dosen't drink as much as I do...
