Counties with Highest Rates of Excessive Drinking Revealed in New Study
A recent study by the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute reveals that Wisconsin has the highest rate of excessive drinkers in the United States, with 26% of adults self-reporting excessive drinking. The states with the most excessive drinkers are primarily located in the north-central region, including Iowa, Montana, Nebraska, and North Dakota. County-level data shows that nine out of the ten counties with the highest rates of excessive drinking are in Wisconsin. The study also highlights the correlation between excessive drinking and alcohol-impaired driving deaths, with Montana having the highest rate of driving deaths involving alcohol.
