But if it's only for one night, the body will do its best to overcome the setback as quickly as possible. From what I have read, James, it's the persistent onslaught of alcohol from chronic drinking that keeps bones from healing, not an occasional drink. Just the same, why would you chance it? Why not drink something that helps to heal the bones instead, such as water with lemon? You could dress up your drink by throwing in a maraschino cherry, and no one would be the wiser. Or how about a glass of tomato juice? It might look like a Bloody Mary, but your bones will appreciate the alkaline difference. :-) Probably.

I got a CT scan this week and there is not one sign of healing, I do drink and smoke and have stopped this week. I am going into a hard cast also with strict nonweightbearing, had I listened to my doctor in the first place, I would probably be starting physical therapy at this point.....love your pointers, hoping to not have to get a plate and screws!

I do believe that God hides blessings in the crosses He asks us to bear, so be on the lookout to see the "something good" that God means to come your way through this injury. I have a friend who many years ago lost his leg in a motorcycle wreck. Because of that accident, he became interested in medicine and became a doctor! Who knows what you will discover about yourself and your world as the result of this break? You are young and strong and have so much to give. I will pray for your recovery and for your discovery.
