When people think of drugs, they often think of the headline drugs: opiates, cocaine, meth. They rarely think of the drug they have at home in their refrigerators. Maureen Busalacchi discusses the number one drug in the country, alcohol. Maureen is the Director of the Wisconsin Alcohol Policy Project (WisAPP) and has decades of experience in public health policy. She works at the Medical College of Wisconsin and is currently President-elect for the Wisconsin Public Health Association, having served as Chair of the ad hoc Workgroup on Alcohol Prevention for the Wisconsin State Council on Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse. The purpose of the Council was to develop evidence-based recommendations to reduce excessive alcohol use. Maureen can be reached at Wisconsin Alcohol Policy Project (WisAPP) | Medical College of Wisconsin. Information for the upcoming Alcohol Policy Seminar can be found at Alcohol Policy Seminar The views and opinions of the guests on this podcast are theirs and theirs alone and do not necessarily represent those of the host, Westwords Consulting or the Kenosha County Substance Abuse Coalition.
