(Terry Bell, WRN) Another report says too many people in Wisconsin drink too much.

The report from the Wisconsin Council on Alcohol and other Drug Abuse says drinking and binge-drinking rates in Wisconsin are much higher than the national average.

The report says 64-percent of people in Wisconsin have had a drink in the past month, and 21 percent have had four-or-more in one sitting. The report concludes higher taxes and higher prices could help lessen binge drinking. The group also says no more selling alcohol at gas stations might help.
