Abstract
Alcohol consumption is a common way to socialize in many cultural settings. However, excessive intake can impair personal judgement and can result in injury to self or others. Maxillofacial injury as a result of alcohol overindulgence is not only of medical concern but is also an alarming social issue. Throughout the world, over the past 2 to 3 decades there has been an increase in incidence of facial fractures due to alcohol-induced Interpersonal violence (IPV) and a decrease in the proportion of fractures resulting from drunk driving. Constant epidemiological assessments are imperative to identify aetiology, new trends and governing factors to strategize preventive steps and administer effective treatment for these injuries.
