We are better than average again when it comes to drinking. New study out shows that 1 in 4 Wisconsin residents are exceeding the national average of binge drinking by about 20 drinks per year, the average binge drinker in Wisconsin is having 490 drinks per year compared to the average binge drinker of 470. The average number of drinks per week for the typical Wisconsin binge drinker is 9.43 drinks per week. Or basically a lot of drinking. Last year we had about 50 thousand drug overdoses right? The average annual deaths caused by excessive alcohol use is about 88,000. That is a lot more than the drug overdoses, yet we turn a blind eye to it since it is legal. I think that we have an overconsumption problem in this country. Food, Booze and Drugs.
