If you drink beer after a fracture, especially if you drink beer early in the fracture, it can lead to vasodilatation of the blood vessels throughout the body, especially at the fracture site where the capillaries re-rupture and bleed, resulting in extreme localized swelling of the limb. In the most severe cases, this can lead to osteo-fascial compartment syndrome, which can compress the neurovascular, leading to ischemia and neurovascular damage, and in severe cases, limb necrosis or residual nerve dysfunction, with numbness, weakness or immobility of the distal limb. If the fracture is posterior to the regular drinking of beer, alcohol will promote the appearance of osteoporosis, which will also affect the healing of the fracture, and may lead to delayed healing of the fracture, or even the occurrence of bone discontinuity.
