Journal-Sentinel takes on Wisconsin's alcohol culture

On my recent trip to California, I noticed a striking difference in the types of businesses located near the UC-Berkeley campus versus the UW campus here in Madison. While there are numerous bars adjacent to the UW campus, the situation in Berkeley is quite different. The Berkeley campus, unlike the UW, is not surrounded by taverns.

Now, following in footsteps of Gannet Media Wisconsin, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has begun a five part series on Wisconsin's culture of alcohol abuse.
