"If drinking continues or increases to levels of problem use, likelihood of marriage, or of having a lasting marriage, may decrease," the lead study author said. HealthDay News (1/18)

That sort of reminds me of a study up on the wall in one of the science buildings showing that two male hamsters are more aggressive if they are in close proximity to a female hamster in heat.

It's one of those...Umm...DUH! sorts of experiments.
