People who are married, or cohabiting, tend to drink less than their single, widowed and divorced counterparts, a new study has claimed. “Intimate relationships cause a decline in alcohol consumption,” said Diana Dinescu from University of Virginia (UVA) in the U.S.
Ashley Deeks, a former assistant legal adviser for political-military affairs at the State Department, who now works as an associate professor of law at UVA, says the U.S. was “very attuned to precedential concerns” in the use of drone strikes, and so has been careful about laying out the legal case for them.

As UVA’s Larry Sabato told U.S. News & World Report, “Most GOP elected officials believe that universities are hotbeds of Democratic support – and the voting patterns in most college precincts support this.”

“‘The Great Wall’ is definitely among the biggest-budget co-productions, and it’s the first very large budget one in which there is a major Chinese creative force behind it,” says Aynne Kokas, a UVA assistant professor of media studies and the author of the forthcoming book, “Hollywood Made in China.” “That’s the part of the story that’s getting left out.”
Philip Zelikow, a UVA professor who also served in the Bush State Department, argues that the global engagement Trump resists can be summed up in two simple sentences: “The future of America depends on partners and friends in the world.
