Darwin, Australia.


Did you know which is the 'Broken Jaw Capital of the World'?

Few Seconds to go and if you said it was 'Darwin', you are right. As of 2010, the north Australian City of Darwin, won the infamous sobriquet because of the high rate of Alcohol related violence. The Royal Darwin Hospital saw 350 cases of broken jaws and bones each year. You would be surprised to know that only 12 percent of the trauma related cases were not victims of Alcohol related Assault.

With 15 litre Alcohol consumption per head annually, the city boasted of more than 6000 assaults in 2009,more than 18 percent as compared to 2007. Well, if it comes to travel info, this is a unique sobriquet to know.
