Why do you need "millions" of water and acetone molecules? How many drug
molecules do you expect to have in any single simulation?

It's not hard (or all that expensive) to simulate mixed liquids, and using
thousands of solvent molecules is generally quite accurate.

If you really need an implicit model, check out CosmoRS.
