Summary

This study looks at how drinking alcohol and the way couples talk about sex can lead to sexual violence between partners. Researchers will bring in 240 couples from the Denver area to a lab, where some will drink alcohol and others won't, and then test their reactions. The goal is to understand what increases the risk of sexual violence, which could help prevent it in the future.
