UW-Eau Claire Receives Grant to Reduce Binge Drinking (WPR)

(EAU CLAIRE) A concerted effort to reduce high risk drinking on the UW-Eau Claire campus will be funded by a new federal grant.

A survey of drinking by students at UW-Eau Claire last year found 91 percent drink, and 57 percent report binge drinking. Lowering that rate will be difficult because Wisconsin has the highest binge drinking level of 40 states studied by Harvard University. (Third item)
