Alcohol affects the bones with osteoporosis & hence fractures
In the joints, it reduces the blood supply leading to what is called as avascular necrosis. This in turn reduces nutrition to the cartilage & ultimately leads to arthritis .. classically seen in hip joints.

How does the blood supply reduce? There is alteration in circulating lipids leading to blockage of arteries & also increase in bone marrow fat cell size leading to blockage of venous flow.
