People are constantly trying to find new methods and hidden secrets behind the success of a relationship. Is it understanding? Courtesy? Patience? Turns out it's alcohol.
So how exactly does drinking together reinforce your relationship? Let’s take a look…
And if you can't remember, it doesn't count, right?
You find that there's nothing even to argue about when you finally sober up. No matter if you remember what was actually said, you got the release you needed.
According to a study published in The Journals of Gerontology Series B: Psychological Series, couples who drink alcohol together reported a less negative relationship quality over time, and the results were "significantly greater among wives."
There is nothing like the bond that is created when your boyfriend holds your hair back. Bonus points if you hold his!
"Divide & Conquer" is the name of the game. There's nothing people love more than when couples get wasted together.
As we learned on "Mean Girls," word vomit is a real phenomenon that only gets worse when you drink.
There's nothing like waking up from a blackout next to your S.O. with absolutely no recollection of the previous night. Reminds you of that Twilight Zone, episode, right?
If each of you alternate who buys the rounds, it won't take long before you don't even know whose turn it is anymore. And at that point, you are probably beyond the point of any rational decision-making.
When you are getting drunk with each other, no one else even matters. All you care about is getting as drunk as possible and heading home as soon as you can you catch my drift.
There is nothing more miserable than lying in bed in the fetal position with no one to rub your back for you so at least there is someone there. On the one hand, misery loves company. On the other, they may be in the same fetal position you are!
Everyone knows sex cures headaches and hangovers. Next
There's no longer the "Are we staying in or going out?" debate when it comes to your relationship. You know exactly what you are getting into come the weekend.
So when you do finally want to chill out, chances are your S.O. is also more than down for a night of relaxation.
Thanksgiving holds nothing on the feasts you and your S.O. indulge in after a night out. People aren't quite sure if they should be impressed or disgusted by your habits.
And thank goodness for that or you'd be putting up with the other's behavior for much longer!
No one is more fun than you and vice versa. Because there's no jealousy in this relationship, you're both too busy having fun.
Anyone who parties with his or her S.O.'s friends automatically gets the seal of approval. There's nothing worse than people who keep their other halves away from their friends.
You just might have, on more than one occasion, gone on a two person pub crawl.
There is always something the two of you are up to, which is why you are everyone's favorite people to drink and hang out with.
And you still love each other even more for it!
You go out looking like a power couple, but when you wake up, it's a whole other story.
That's what makes the relationship so fun, fresh and funny!
Because it typically involves a flask and a party!
The only real way to prevent the full hangover from setting in is by drinking more, and you both firmly agree which is why you make the perfect pair.
When in doubt pour one out. Or two, no one is judging here.
Actually, you have even grown to enjoy them; I guess anything is tolerable if you don't have to do it solo.
While you watch other couples throw low blows at each other, the only thing you and your significant are throwing back are tequila shots.
