How do you help a friend who you know is drinking too much?

I have a friend - someone who I hold dear to my heart. Someone who I don't see every day but love spending time with.

The problem is I know this person has a problem with booze. I think they are totally addicted to getting drunk. Everytime I see them it seems like they have to have a drink.

Not everyone might think this person has a problem unless you think about it. Everyone I've talked to privatly about this person - when i mention have they ever been around them without booze present - realizes that there actually may be a problem there.

How do you tell them that they need help without ruining the friendship? I love this person - sober or drunk, but since I do love them I want them to get help.

Please - advise. Anything might help. I've gotten good info from the people at GFY before - hopefully you can help me again this time.
