Expert Insights
Binge drinking in the state of Kansas is above the national average, yet Kansas has done nothing to remedy their alcohol policy score. In fact, they come in as the third lowest state in our nation when it comes to enforcing strong alcohol policy safeguards. As a result, not only do one in five adults report binge drinking on a weekly basis, but so do college students. The normalization of consuming massive amounts of mind-altering intoxicants, is not only imperative for adults but also for the youth, who are the future of this state.
