Ranking No. 1 in the nation for binge drinking, Wisconsin has lived up to its hard-drinking reputation, according to government research that paints a picture of the nation's health habits over the last decade. The state was near the middle of the pack on other health risk measurements including smoking, physical inactivity and obesity, the study, which is being published in today's Journal of the American Medical Association, said.
"I think Wisconsin overall is one of the healthier states," said Dr. Patrick Remington, a UW Medical School professor and director of the Wisconsin Public Health and Health Policy Institute. "But we do have some areas for improvement."
Nationally, Americans are buckling up but chugging down, getting cancer screening tests yet still smoking too much, according to the research.
"It's a mix of good and bad news," said Dr. David Nelson, who helped conduct the research for the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
According to state-by-state surveys of adult health trends during the 1990s, more Wisconsin residents binge drink than residents of any other state.

the only people in america more obnoxious than the children of mobsters are the children of police officers, with off-duty airline stewardesses a close 2nd. Trust me on this.
