Drinking By the Numbers: An Interactive U.S. Map

This multimedia coverage by the Gannett Wisconsin Media provides articles, video, and an interactive map exploring the causes and effects and the costs and benefits of alcohol, particularly in Wisconsin.

Click on the "Interactive U.S. Map" for a state-by-state alcohol profile. The profile includes the rank of each state on ten data points, including: binge and heavy drinkers, underage drinkers, alcohol sold, liquor licenses, beer tax, healthcare costs, drunken driving fatalities, dependence or abuse, needing but not receiving treatment, and crime.

For more information on the data points, click on "Defining the 10 Categories" in the upper-right hand corner of the "Interactive U.S. Map."
