How to navigate medication safety when friends don't know about drug interactions

My closest friend started a new psychiatric medication that interacts badly with alcohol, but our entire social group revolves around drinking and she hasn't told anyone else about the medication. I'm the only one who knows and I'm watching her either skip doses to drink with us or risk dangerous interactions, and I don't know how to support her without betraying her privacy.
