Vital Signs: One more depressing study on Wisconsin’s drinking problem

….A recent report by the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration finds that nearly 22 percent of Wisconsin residents between the ages of 18 and 25 reported alcohol dependence or abuse in the past year, and more than half of young adults admitted to binge drinking in the prior month. Stats for the overall population were dismal, too. Only three states, Minnesota, South Dakota and North Dakota, have worst rates of binge drinking for residents aged 12 and above.
