The patient's closed head injury with concussion is coded as S06.0x1A, with an additional external cause code of W10.9xxA for the fall down the steps at home. The open wound of the lip is coded as S01.501A, and the alcohol intoxication is coded as F10.129. The abrasion of the forehead does not meet the minimum level of significance to be coded separately. The external cause code Y92.019 is used to indicate the place of occurrence as the residence.
