State of Drinking in Wisconsin
A Gannett report came out this week that said that Wisconsin is the #1 Alcohol State in the Nation -- a dubious honor, indeed. (It made the front page of Monday's paper.) Another article on the same data. Research results can be found here. Interestingly, if you click on the "Interactive US Map", you will easily see the states MOST impacted by alcohol problems-- a northern band across the upper midwest. Likewise, you will note the states LEAST impacted by alcohol problems -- another band, across the south. Why are the northern states more prone to alcohol abuse than the south? I'm certain the difference has something to do with THIS map.
