Event-level drinking intentions, social drinking contexts, and motives affect alcohol consumption among same-sex female couples

Young sexual minority women (SMW; e.g., lesbian, bisexual women) are at increased risk for heavy drinking, although SMW in relationships may be at less risk than those who are single. The current study examined how SMW partners influence drinking in the moment, if their own intentions predict drinking beyond partner influence and if this association is moderated by partner influence, and if their own drinking motives moderate partner influence.
