It's not like she just got drunk one night and everyone wigged out on her. It wasn't a blood/alcohol test they went off of, it was a liver test. It's not about being drunk that night, it's about her liver showing damage caused by a history of alcohol abuse.
The law is the law. I see no issue here.

The problem here is that the doctor noticed her enzymes were out of whack and she was reported. There were no further tests done to prove this (I am guessing from the wording in the article) and her family doctor reported her for this. They do not need proof they just need to say they suspect it and they are taken at their word and the license is gone.
It is not like she has a history of getting drunk and driving (only 1 speeding ticket in her life) or even getting drunk in general. When she was drinking this night she was upset about the death of a friend and still got to the hospital in an ambulance not a car.
with this logic anyone that was an alcoholic and has a damaged liver cannot have a license because they may drink and drive at some time. Hey your clean and sober for 5 years, good job, now step away from the car before you kill someone!
