I think, the best way to go is treating alcohol as something perfectly normal, not making a fuzz about it, thereby making it more interesting. And it's a given that the girl will get drunk at some point. Everyone does and it doesn't mean, one is on the way to become an alcoholic. It's an individual experience and everone deals with it in different ways.
Of course, it would make sense to have "the talk" about alcoholism, and the signs for that etc.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
