She likes to get drunk and flirt with guys. We have zero evidence of her being unsafe in any of those situations, even in Lizzie's biased observations.
I think we have one line that implied Lydia wasn't good about using protection, but yeah, there is this general disapproval of her choice to party that's problematic.
I do like the fact that they wanted to keep the scandal sexual in some way, like the way it was in the book, but you're right-- medical drama (like an overdose or something similar) would have been much more believable in this case, and in my opinion, you'd be able to place more of the blame on Lydia's carelessness, which I think is what the writers had originally intended on doing.

That would have been SO much better.
