Newsmakers: Changing Wisconsin's ''Alcohol Culture''
A new state report says Wisconsin has an “alcohol culture” and recommends dozens of ways that state government and local governments, schools, businesses and civic, community and religious organizations can change that culture. In a Newsmakers interview in the WisconsinEye studio on July 7, four officials who worked on that report defended those controversial recommendations, which would include twice-a-day breath tests for anyone accused of OWI. Panelists were Julia Sherman, coordinator of the Wisconsin Alcohol Policy Project; Racine Alderman Greg Helding; Dr. Richard Brown, clinical director of the Wisconsin Initiative to Promote Healthy Lifestyles, and Nina Emerson, director of the UW Law School’s Resource Center on Impaired Driving.
