N2  - We describe a case of burns purposefully sustained in a patient performing a bizarre pub game while under the influence of alcohol. Full-thickness burns were sustained through contact with a 50-p UK currency coin essentially heated with burning paper. We discuss the nature and ease by which such burns can be sustained in the community and the increasing awareness of alcohol abuse as a factor in a significant proportion of such self-inflicted burns.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
