Symptoms of mcl injury

I have a grade 2 MCL injury for one week now. I have progressed to the stage where I can walk and do light exercise and almost intense stationary biking, but my knee will be unstable for the next 4 weeks or so. I was wondering what a few alcoholic drinks would have on my knee and if it would have a major effect on my recovery.
