Glassing

Glassings can occur at bars or pubs where alcohol is served and such items are readily available.

[2] A step to prevent glassing before it happens is to produce bottles utilizing plastic instead, which cannot shatter into jagged pieces, and has the advantage of being closed using a screw cap to retain a drink's carbonation.

A filled plastic bottle can also be used as a blunt instrument which causes just as much danger and injury as a glassing.

The incident effectively ended any further serious marketing of mass-market beer in plastic bottles.

[3][4] Alcoholic drinks can be served in tempered glasses instead of traditional glassware, which results in a broken glass breaking into safer chunks unable to be weaponized, but is more costly to purchase for bars and pubs.
