We work in a retail store that averages about 5 - 7 employees. Because we're a smaller store and most of us work full time, we spend most of our time together so we're quite close. One of my coworkers, after a personal incident that I won't share, has started to open up to us a lot in the past month and we've become closer as a result.

The issue I'm having is I've noticed that she drinks a lot outside of work. Like most nights after work, on the weekends binge drinking all day/night. Any time we've hung out outside of work it's involved her being drunk, getting drunk, or planning to get drunk.  I understand it is her business, but after what happened with her, I think she might self medicating and I'm concerned she's going to end up in a rough patch again if she isn't in one already. 

I'm just worried for her mental health and I'm wondering if it's totally out of place for me to say anything to her about it.

coworker and I are becoming friends, but I'm concerned about her drinking. Should I say something, or is it none of my business?

My coworker has started binge drinking after drinking outside of work, in my opinion. I'm worried she might self medicate and end up in a rough patch.
