This study is testing a text-based intervention called "Alcohol Skills and Emotion Regulation Intervention" to help young adults reduce alcohol use and prevent intimate partner violence (IPV). Participants will receive text messages with strategies for reducing alcohol and managing emotions. Another group will receive general text messages without intervention content. Researchers want to see if these messages, sent around the time of drinking, can lower alcohol use and IPV over 3 months. You may be eligible if you are 18-30 years old, drink alcohol regularly, have a history of IPV, and are in a romantic relationship. The study aims to enroll 400 participants.
