I would STRONGLY recommend that you read this book:
Get Your Loved One Sober: Alternatives to Nagging, Pleading, and Threatening
Robert J Meyers Ph.D. , Brenda L. Wolfe Ph.D.

Also, keep in mind that your friend's doctor told her to keep drinking for a reason: to keep her from going into withdrawal before she has appropriate medical support.
