Does your husband drive you to drink?

According to a new study by four sociologists at the University of Cincinnati, women drink more after they are married.

The study says the new environment that comes after marriage by living with a man who consumes more alcohol is why women hit the bottle more.

The researchers say men actually drink much less after they get married than when they are single, however, they are more likely to turn to drinking after a divorce.
