The health consequences of Wisconsin's drinking culture
Alcohol-related deaths in Wisconsin nearly tripled from 1999 to 2020. The state has among the highest rates of alcohol consumption in the nation — and among the lowest perceptions of binge-drinking as risky behavior. We talk to an expert about Wisconsin’s drinking problem, and evidence-based polices to address it.
