My [F28] friend [F27] and her brother [M30] got me drunk and I'm pregnant - my friend is claiming I shouldn't be mad because she didn't know I'm having a baby.

Some brief background: my husband and I have been dealing with issues of infertility for the past several years. We have spent our time, energy, emotions and no small amount of money trying to conceive. I've had a couple positive pregnancy tests, but each has ended in an early term miscarriage.
Last month I tested positive again. My pregnancy is roughly nine weeks along meaning I'm still in the vulnerable and very scary first trimester. My husband and I have chosen not to reveal the pregnancy until we're much further along as neither of us want to have to deal with the emotional aftermath if we lose this baby as well - maybe that's hard to understand, but it's a very real fear for those of us who have miscarried before.
Up to the present: our friends and us have always had a tradition of getting together once a month or so to watch college football. We meet up at a favorite bar where my friend "June's" brother is a bartender. Obviously I'm not drinking right now, so I let June and her brother "Ben" know and ordered a non-alcoholic beer and tomato juice. They gave me a bit of a bad time but I explained I've got a little health problem going on right now that alcohol wasn't helping. I said I'd rather not get into the nitty gritty details and they both let it go, or so I thought.
After a few hours and a few beers, it began to dawn on me that I was drunk. Not expecting it, it kind of snuck up on me but as I got up to head to the restroom there was no mistaking that I was under the influence.
Slightly panicked I explained to June that I had gotten actual alcohol, and she laughed and said she and Ben decided to pour me real red beers, that game day was a terrible time to give up drinking. I was (still am) furious! I asked her what she was thinking, I told her I couldn't, yet she kept insisting beer wouldn't interfere with whatever little health problem I'm having. I shouted at her I'm pregnant and called an Ãœber home.
I called my husband and he's equally furious and ready to be done with June. Meanwhile, she's calling and leaving messages ranging from insisting she's not at fault because I didn't tell her I was pregnant to telling me "a little alcohol" doesn't hurt a baby.
I personally don't care what reason to abstain a person gives or doesn't, I don't think anyone has the right to override that choice. I honestly want to cut June out of my life for good right now, but I want to know if I'm overreacting or if I need to give this more time. I'm just so upset!
tl;dr: My [F28] friend [F27] and her brother [M30] gave me real beer instead of the non-alcoholic variety I ordered, resulting in me getting drunk. I'm pregnant and so I flipped out. She insists it's partially my fault because I didn't reveal I was pregnant. I want to cut this so called friend out of my life over this, but I wonder if I'm justified or overreacting?
