The Upper Midwest has some of the highest rates of binge drinking in the United States. The tragic death of 21-year-old Mankato woman is the most recent example. Toben Nelson, a University of Minnesota epidemiologist, has advice for parents. <Clip: “Binge drinking and drinking among underage children…experience alcohol-related problems.”> Nelson believes that lawmakers also have a role. For example, he says that research has shown that increasing the tax on alcohol products would be an effective way to reduce underage drinking. <clip: “Right now there is very little political will…at the community or at the state level.”> With another Public Health Moment, I’m John Finnegan.enAudio
