It might slow healing a bit by interfering with the absorption and metabolism of calcium and vitamin D.

Consumption of alcohol has been shown to have a marked effect on osteoblast activity. Ethanol interferes with osteoblast proliferation and also decreases cell viability in osteoblasts. This effect absolutely delays and may even prevent new bone formation. Studies show that chronic abusers of alcohol experience notable delays in fracture healing in comparison to non-alcoholics.
Moreover, Alcoholism is a known cause of osteopenia and substantially increases an individual's risk for fall related bone fractures. Studies show that the adverse effects of alcohol on bone density and remodeling are rapidly reversed when alcohol consumption is discontinued.
