Teen Drinking Down In State, Nation

Quoted: In the most recent Wisconsin Youth Risk Behavior Survey, 30 percent of students admitted to drinking. Twenty years ago nearly 50 percent of Wisconsin’s public school students said they used alcohol. That’s when underage drinking in the U.S. went “sky high” according to Julia Sherman, coordinator of the Wisconsin Alcohol Policy Project, which is based at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Law School and funded by a grant from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services.
