(NEXSTAR) — You may have an idea of how much alcohol your community drinks. There may even be a certain sense of pride regarding how much or how little that is. But recently released data helps illustrate which areas in the U.S. are prone to excessive drinking and which aren’t. Earlier this year, the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute released its 2023 County Health Rankings and Roadmaps report, which is meant to raise awareness about factors that can impact health outcomes and disparities nationwide.Researchers use numerous data points to determine the length and quality of life on a state-by-state basis. Among those factors is alcohol use, including reported excessive drinking. To determine the rates of excessive drinking per state, researchers used self-reported data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance system. For the 2023 report, the University of Wisconsin used data from 2020 — the first year of the COV...Local musician turns tragedy into triumph with latest song addressing robbery experiences, rise in crime in L.A.

Rising pop artist Izza is just one of the people on the long list of victims of violent crimes across Los Angeles.However, she might be the only one who decided to turn her experiences into a song. The Encino native had several belongings stolen from her house in Aug. 2022, and while she was devastated to have lost her possessions, she was more focused on apprehending those who were responsible for taking them. “I felt extreme loss and defeat, but even though I lost so many of my things, all I cared about was catching the robbers,” Izza said. “I worked closely with the detective that was assigned to my case and although he tried his best, there were hundreds of other cases that took precedence over mine.” This wasn’t the only time Izza fell victim to a burglary; in 2020, she was followed home by a homeless man who then broke into her house, she said.

LAS VEGAS — Trey Lance’s first touchdown pass in 363 days never reached its intended receiver. Instead, it nearly got intercepted, and, eventually, it bounced into Ross Dwelley’s sure hands in the end zone.This, of course, is a great city to have luck turn your way.But the 49ers need Lance to be both lucky and good. Otherwise, his potential job as Brock Purdy’s backup will belong to Sam Darnold, who had a pedestrian debut after Lance’s shaky, first-half duty in Sunday’s preseason opener at the Raiders.The 34-7 final marked the most lopsided preseason loss in coach Kyle Shanahan’s seven seasons.San Francisco 49ers tight end Ross Dwelley (82) scores a touchdown as Las Vegas Raiders cornerback Duke Shelley (23) defends during the first half of an NFL preseason football game, Sunday, Aug. 13, 2023, in Las Vegas.

SAN FRANCISCO — It took a walk-off home run from Patrick Bailey in extra innings on Sunday for the Giants to salvage one win in their three-game series against their former manager’s new club.The Giants got a masterful performance from Logan Webb, but it was almost all wasted as manager Gabe Kapler pulled his starter with two outs in the ninth inning only for Camilo Doval to allow the Rangers to tie the game and take the lead in the 10th, before Bailey blasted a two-run walk-off homer over the Chevron sign in left field.The Giants won, 3-2, for only the second time in their past eight games, snapping a four-game losing streak.The Giants were one out away from winning in regulation when Kapler emerged from the dugout to a chorus of boos from the sunny afternoon crowd of 35,648. Those quickly turned to cheers as Webb walked off the mound and reversed to another round of voracious boos as Kapler returned to the dugout.It was almost as if they could sense what was about to happen....‘Barbie’ on track to become highest grossing domestic film of the year
