They do drink during the canoe trip a little to excess, but I'd hardly call it 'abuse' of alcohol.

Lewis' leg is broken so badly that once he's in the hospital, the doctor tells Bobby and Ed that he may have to have his leg amputated. Discussed, nothing seen, though the initial compound fracture injury is rather graphic.

They are not damaged during the course of the movie; there are local residents who suffer from tooth loss.

Rural characters are described as "genetically deficient" by the main characters. Disabled characters are also used for shock value as part of the "inbred hillbilly" trope.

While there's no depiction of an incestuous relationship, there is an inbred boy and a couple jokes about the hill people being inbred.
