Falling Down Drunk (and dead) Part II

La Crosse deaths: Accidents? Murders?:

Six bodies. Seven years. The victims have been the same sex, race and approximate age. All of them have been found in the waters around La Crosse, home to three rivers.

None of the bodies showed obvious signs of a struggle, and forensic autopsies found little evidence of knockout drugs or anything to indicate that the men were victims of abduction or homicide. So the killer must be very smart, the theory goes.

The other similarity among the victims is that, at the time of their deaths, all of them were drunk.


People drinking too much? In Wisconsin?

There's nothing subtle about Wisconsin's drinking culture. The state leads the nation in the rate of adults who drink, according to a survey by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. It also leads the nation in binge drinking, meaning five or more drinks at a time.
