Women are more likely to hurt their private parts when drunk or high on drugs, it has been revealed.

Around 53% of all injuries to the 'trunk and pubic region' were on females , according to new research.

Meanwhile, stairs, floors and BICYCLES are the most dangerous objects to be around when you’re under the influence.

The figures, compiled by Drugabuse.com, show that many party animals also come a cropper when they come across porches, balconies, windows and even beds.

The stats reveal that emergency room injuries spike in the summer months of May and July.

Meanwhile, men aged 21-24 and 50-54 most likely to injure their faces while under the influence.

And men aged 50-54 and women aged 45-54 are most likely to injure their 'trunk and pubic region’ while drunk or on drugs.

The report can make grim reading - one story involves a woman accidentally breaking off a hypodermic needle in her arm while shooting up cocaine and then trying unsuccessfully to cut it out with a razor blade.

While young men have more than double the injuries of young women, the peaks in early adulthood and middle age are remarkably similar for both sexes.

Even scarier is the alarming spike among toddlers and young children, who hurt themselves after the accidental consumption of drugs left out by adults.

Drugabuse.com said: "We need all be mindful of the fact that the potential exists not only to inflict serious injury to oneself while under the influence of alcohol and drugs, but to anyone in close proximity – at a club or party, at home and, of course, on the road.

“Accidents and injuries are frequently representative of a larger problem with drugs and alcohol."
