a beer and 1 drink the next day she has to do a urine test, What might happen if she doesn't pass the urine test?

A: If she fails at minimum it will be reported to the DA and judge. There is a certain amount of discretion that the DA and judge have on the matter (too many factors to list), but at worst her probation will be revoked and her original sentence will be reinstated. The more likely outcome will be an extension of probation, a fine, more frequent testing, and/or a few days in jail and then rerelease on probation. Two of the biggest factors will be (1) the degree of the violation and (2) the number of times a violation has occurred. Regardless of what occurred, your daughter should not be drinking at all; if she has a problem it is better to actively seek AA or another treatment program the to hope she doesn't get caught...
