Life Expectancy declines in Wisconsin due to alcohol, other drugs

Wisconsin's alcohol death rate more than doubled since 1999.  Overall, Wisconsin's life expectancy has declined for two years in a row, and for the first time in a hundred years (in 1915-1918 it declined due to the global influenza epidemic and WWI). Particularly alarming are the high rates of deaths of African Americans.
