UW health system spearheads united effort against alcohol abuse (AP)

A group of health care providers is forming a coalition to push for new laws to fight alcohol abuse.

The All-Wisconsin Alcohol Risk Education â?? AWARE â?? coalition will focus on three initiatives: reducing drunken driving, decreasing underage drinking, and prohibiting health insurance companies from denying claims for accident victims who test positive for alcohol and other drugs.
