Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 9
Abstract
An accident usually happens due a judgmental error of either of the drivers or the driver alone. Factors like vehicle repairs, bad weather or roads related can be a cause but driver related is the most deciding factor. And an altered judgment is caused by influence of alcohol and other recreational drugs. Our study aim was to see any correlation of alcohol consumption and non fatal, non grievous injuries presenting to the causality of a tertiary teaching hospital. We have analyzed the records and questioning the patients and found that most of them were men and the active productive age group is involved, injuries ranging from abrasions to head injuries. And mostly due to acute binging or usual drinking patterns.
