If you are truly trying to help, don't worry about offending him. Trying to be gentle with him will only delay the inevitable dance with reality he is heading for. Most people with problems get highly offended by the truth and there is no nice way around it.
-
Always be honest. Just tell him that you worry over his actions and felt the need to let him know. Tell him his behavior may cause issues for him, not to mention..drinking that much is not healthy.

this happened to a friend of mine. we video taped him while he did all this stuff. then a week after we all got together and talked to him and showed him the clip he wasn't mad as much as embarrassed about it and now he keeps his drinking to a minimum and whenever we feel he gets out of hand he tries to stop. it might work if you get enough of your buddies that have seen him together when you talk hope this helps
-
Just tell him when he is sober and in a decent mood. Tell him without sounding like his mother.
-
I would stop being around him when he drinks. I am a firm believer in "In Vino Veritas".... in wine there is truth. If he is an s.o.b. when he is drunk... then that is what he is deep down.
-
Sometimes the truth is the only way to go. especially if he doesn't remember it.
-
I'd say its not wrong in offending him if he's really close. He should be able to understand and after all he's a grown up? Tell him the harder way lest that at least makes him understand. Still if you don't wanna hurt him, consult a counselor.

Make a tape. Ask him to call your vm or his own and leave a message. Make sure he acts the way you alleged.
