dc.description.notesAbstract<br/ ><br/ >Introduction and Aims<br/ ><br/ >Heavy and binge drinking contributes to increased risk and severity of violence in intimate relationships, but its role in the initiation and escalation of intimate partner violence (IPV) is not well-understood. This study explores the dynamics of drinking and IPV from the perspectives of women with lived experience of alcohol-related IPV.<br/ >Design and Methods<br/ ><br/ >A qualitative constructivist grounded theory study using interviews with 18 women aged 18–50?years who experienced fear or harm from an alcohol-affected male partner. Participants were recruited from the community in Victoria, Australia.<br/ >Results<br/ ><br/ >Participants experienced alcohol-related IPV as a cycle of escalating violence accompanying the male partner's progression to intoxication as follows: starting to drink (having fun); getting drunk (looking for a fight); intoxicated ('switching' to escalated violence); drunk (becoming incapacitated); hungover/coming down (becoming mean-tempered); sober (returning to 'normal' life); and craving (building up to drinking again — for dependent drinkers). Participants identified safe and unsafe stages in the cycle but feared the unpredictability of drunken violence. Participants actively managed safety through four main strategies: preventing (e.g. limiting his drinking); predicting (e.g. recognising signs); responding (e.g. avoiding arguments); and protecting (e.g. removing self and children). Anticipating abuse when a partner drinks was the central process for participants living this cycle.<br/ >Open access http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/dar.12405/fullen
