A drunken altercation at a private party in Prienai, Lithuania, resulted in two individuals being injured and needing medical treatment.
On February 7 at around 4 PM, two intoxicated individuals, a man born in 1970 and a woman born in 1999, were admitted to Prienai Hospital for injuries sustained during a gathering. They reported that the injuries occurred during a dispute with a 1976-born man at their party, prompting medical intervention. The male victim had a blood alcohol concentration of 2.73, while the female's was 3.16, indicating a high level of intoxication among all parties involved.

The situation raises concerns about safety during social gatherings, particularly involving heavy drinking, and the consequences of such behavior.
The case has been recorded according to Lithuanian criminal law, specifically under Article 140, Section 1, which addresses bodily harm.

The local community may need to address these concerns to mitigate future incidents.
