ANN ARBOR — Can having the same drinking habits as your spouse actually improve your marriage?
It appears to be possible according to the Institute for Social Research’s Kira Birditt — but exactly how that works and why it works that way are complicated questions that are difficult to decipher.
In December 2024, Birditt presented at ISR on the subject of concordant drinking as a part of ISR’s Insights Speaker Series, and on this episode of The Abstract, we’re happy to share a part of her talk. Click here to listen to the latest episode.
