Because one of the effects of drinking alcohol is dehydration and so would be one of the worst things to drink. If the alcohol was of low percentage, such as a weak beer, initially the water content of the drink would hydrate her, but once the alcohol kicks in through it's diuretic effect, she would lose water.
