Address alcohol abuse
Wisconsin has long had the nation’s highest rates of drinking – and binge drinking – among adults. It’s the only state where the first drunk driving offense is a traffic violation and not a crime. LGBT people are particularly at risk in this alcoholic culture, because repeated studies have shown our community has higher rates of abuse.
What can I do?
If drinking is negatively impacting your health, get help. Don’t drink and drive. Don’t let your friends drink and drive. Contact your state representatives and urge them to bring drunk-driving laws in line with the rest of the nation. Go to www.legis.state.wi.us and click on “who represents me.”
