No, the owner of the car cannot lose his/her license. However, the car may be impounded and this could involve lots of costs.

The short answer is no.
The owner may be liable for other problems.
The DUI criminal liability rests with the person who operates the car impaired.

While it is quite possible that the friend's car may be impounded or otherwise searched for evidence incident to the arrest, only the person convicted of DUI in your scenario would lose their driver's license.
