Removed citation request for vision loss, it should be considered common knowledge by anyone smarter than a bowl of fruit that getting stabbed in the face with a fistfull of broken glass might put out an eye. --71.1.150.225 03:53, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is Wikipedia really prepared to accept the Manchester Evening News as an uncorroborated source for the number of glassing attacks? Is there any evidence that the journalist concerned didn't simply pluck that figure from their ass? One hundred episodes a week sounds unlikely to this UK citizen. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Holdenweb (talkcontribs) 16:16, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Worldwide prevalence?

[edit]

This seems to be a big think in englishspeaking countries. It is not common at all in germanic countries (maybe at the highly international frequented Oktoberfest, but Bavarian cops are pretty predatory about behaviour like this). Are there any sources on the worldwide prevalence? This phanomenom is realy weird... 91.39.101.112 (talk) 09:46, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Tempered glass

[edit]

Seems to me that a tempered beer glass would still do some pretty good damage if one decided to beat their opponent with it. Really hard, pretty heavy, could probably break a skull. I also think we need more detail on its use as an improvised blade; as someone from the US, I'm not at all familiar with this notion of smashing a beer bottle or glass in someone's face. I have, however, seen plenty of movies where a character facing a potential opponent picks up a bottle by the neck, smashes the base off and wields it like a blade to threaten the other person. That's the only kind of "glassing" I'm aware off, other than maybe someone being struck over the head by a bottle and knocked out. AnnaGoFast (talk) 19:09, 13 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Bad stats?

[edit]

Sounds like there might not be 87000 glassings in the Uk each year https://www.petebrown.net/2010/02/05/how-87000-glassing-injuries-year-gave/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.240.104.183 (talk) 11:56, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

GlassingGlassing (crime) – There appears to be WP:NOPRIMARY for this term, as it is also heavily used in hunting circles to describe the use of binoculars or other optical sights. (See Binoculars#Hunting). It's also used in the basic sense of "to cover with glass". I suggest a disambiguation page be created. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 14:49, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
